How much would have to be in the wallet for you NOT to return it? I think that's an interesting question.
Like if there was somehow $10,000 in there?
$20,000?
I want to think I'd return it no matter what... but would I?

This is the real question. I'd say for most CPers, even a couple hundred dollars would not be enough to take to offset the guilt felt for doing the wrong thing. I'd guess that most wallets have less than $100 in them, and therefore easy to return without taking any cash.
Raising the stakes to $10k + and then things get interesting. What if you tried to track down the person but couldn't? Then what? When the money become substantial enough (and everyone has their own price), I think a lot of people would start to think twice about simply returning everything.
