The Globe reports a T worker who found a wallet on a Charlestown bus seat with $900 inside returned it to its owner.

I wouldn't guess it to be that uncommon.. They probably aren't some loaded asshole who carries around hundreds of dollars because they have money to burn, but more likely just went to a check cashers because they don't have a bank account.
Someone who cashes their paycheck instead of using a bank?
lots of poor people don't use banks because banks steal poor people's money by way of fees
