Prologue : Infant theft is a threat mounting any-(every)-where. Swapping of infants is more prevalent. But, new research reveals something else.

The baby photograph wallets had the highest return rate, with 88 per cent of the 40 being sent back. Next came the puppy, the family and the elderly couple, with 53 per cent, 48 and 28 respectively. At 20 per cent and 15, the charity card and control wallets had the lowest return rates."
