The incident has resonated with many viewers, with some praising the Japanese system and others some sharing their own experiences. "Japan is one of the most sought-after countries. I visited Japan back in 2024, and the same thing happened to me. I got my wallet back within 30 minutes. It was flabbergasting, tbh. The people there are really well sorted," one user wrote in the comment section.

"Bother, yours was a wallet and you got it in 15 minutes. When I visited the country in 2029, my travel bag was exchanged in Seoul. But I got it back within 15 minutes," another user wrote.

"So it's about people's mindset (civic sense) that makes a city best to live in.... Har baar government ko blame nahi karna hota.... Our people will always play the blame-game and victim card but never take the responsibility towards it," a third user noted.
