I've 'lost' my wallet on several occasions, I've always got it back untouched:
In a document case at Crewkerne railway station (took it out of my overnight bag and forgot to put it back). BritRail held the Exeter express at Salisbury and made an unscheduled stop at Crewkerne so I could get it.
In a shoulder bag at a beach cafe in Crete. Returned 20 minutes later, it was still hanging on the back of the chair.
At Railway Square in Sydney. It was returned untouched in the mail.
On the street close to home. It was handed in to the police, who called to tell me they had it, they dropped it off a couple of hours later.
I also leave a big enough to crawl though single hung window open 365*24*7, alongside one of them hangs a spare set of keys.
The only time I lost anything of this ilk, was when the NSA shut down the Lavabit mail service because Edward Snowden used it. How did they know he used it, I suspect they already knew… but when the HRW Moscow agent posted his Lavabit address on Facebook asking "Anyone know if this is the real Edward Snowden?" and the UK Daily Telegraph and others reported her post the next day, they (Obama) had to be seen to be doing something.
