On the way to the store or to work, you can meet not only a beautifully colored cat, which definitely promises good luck, but also a valuable item lying on the ground.
There is a temptation to pick up a wallet or jewelry. But signs say that such finds can bring trouble.
Wallet
In some cases, someone could actually drop the wallet. But often this trick is used by criminals who know many ways to "catch" with a wallet.
As for superstitions, picking up someone else's wallet can attract financial problems. Perhaps the wallet was deliberately gotten rid of to break the string of troubles.
Coins
Superstitions say that with the help of special rituals, financial troubles can be transferred to a coin. The person who performed the ritual will get rid of the troubles by transferring them to the one who picks up the ill-fated coin.
Jewelry
Only 1% will refuse to pick up a gold ring lying on the ground. If no one is around, then there will be a desire to pocket the valuable thing.
There are two reasons why it is better not to touch the decoration. If we rely on signs, then we are talking about the transfer of negative energy. Perhaps the thing belonged to a sick person.
A more "down-to-earth" and likely scenario: the risk of running into suspicion of theft. It will be difficult to prove that the ring or bracelet was simply lying on the ground.
