I'm quoting a delightful story of honesty in Japan. I was particularly impressed that lost mobile phones are taken to the police more frequently than any other lost object. In England, mobile phones -- the stealing thereof -- are responsible for most of the street crime.
The title of your posting, may I presume?, means that you
are concerned that the devolution of the Japanese economy
threatens such "amenities" as this?
The title of my posting was meant to imply the fragility of cultures.

I think we can now imagine (at least until we find an
account of it in the newspaper...) a Japanese young person finding
person's wallet and turning it in to the police and then
turning around and
smashing some stranger's skull for no good reason.
