Would you pick up money that wasn't yours?
Updated | By Jacaranda FM
Finding money has a certain amount of luck attached to it and a sense of morality.
A group of pranksters thought they would test a theory out and found that if money is seen lying around, most people would gun for it.

Pranksters printed what looked like R100 and R200 notes on sticky paper and stuck them on the ground outside shop fronts.
They stood around to video what people would do and the results were everything we thought it would be.
Look, it's one thing to pick up money that you dropped on the ground, but a whole other thing to pick up money that isn't yours.
The truth is that when you find money lying on the ground, it is instinctive to pick it up and immediately assume, 'finder's keepers'.
Check out the video below that shows how many people tried to get their hands on the note.
