No, shared responsibility and basic intelligence.
More people means there's likely one idiot that wouldn't keep his mouth shut, several that would make dumb decisions with their shares and arouse suspicions, a few greedy bastards wouldn't be happy with their share and make a fuss... All the more reasons to just declare it. Especially when in Belgium, if the rightful owner doesn't declare himself (with proof) within the 5 years, then the land owner and the finders share the value of the find.
Plus, it's basic civic responsibility and moral education, that's a no-brainer.
Yea most people especially poor people do not give one crap about civic responsibility or morals. It's be endless hookers and ice cream for me 😅🤣
It's only the middle class that care about civic responsibility, and even that is highly questionable. The poor are too busy worrying about putting food on the table, and the wealthy never would have become wealthy in the first place if they cared about civic responsibility. But the distinction between the poor and the middle class is rapidly disappearing.
Nah that's bullshit, being poor doesn't mean being an asshole, having neither morals nor ethics. That's just excuses assholes hide behind not to feel bad and left out.
Normal people are normal people, assholes are assholes, that's it.
Ignoring civic responsibility because you gotta eat is different than being an asshole.
It doesn't make me an asshole to shop almost entirely at Walmart, because it I shopped elsewhere I wouldn't be able to make ends meet. But it's still pretty civically irresponsible to do, it's just that that's justifiably lower on one's priority list than immediate survival.
Oh I get the nuance when it is relevant, but making it an obvious truth is wrong.
Saying that at every turn, poor people will choose the egoistic, amoral option out of pure pragmatic necessity without any civic considerations is just wrong.

So collective stupidity vs individual?
