I think most folks agree that we're tired of being the world's police. But let's not be naïve. We aren't doing it out of charity or some sense of duty. That might be 5% of it.

Re: Found a wallet
I found a huge wad of cash at the Tokyo airport a couple of years ago and gave it to the security guard (who I'm not sure if he understood what I was telling him) instead of keeping it. I did not want to get accused of theft on foreign soil, especially on my way home.

Do not under any circumstances drive into the stadium. You'll be looking at a minimum of two hours just to get out of the lot.
