The 16 most honest, and dishonest, cities in the world have been ranked. The 'Reader's Digest' lost 12 wallets in 16 cities in Europe, America, Asia and South America, each containing a mobile number, a family photo, business card, and the equivalent of $50 (£31). The wallets were left in city parks, pavements and shopping centres. None of the cities were perfect - even the most honest received 11 out of the 12 wallets. Here are the results, ranked worst to best.
