Honest cabbie returns bag with rings, Rolex  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 94/100. TheCatLady (2753)   ranked 421 out of 26,925 in people 4 years ago

A cab driver found a bag with expensive jewelry and a passport and returned it to it's owner. When asked why he said because it wasn't mine.

So what do you think? Does it restore your faith in people to know that there still are some honest people in this world? Would you have returned it?

hello thecatlady

oh my gosh! what a nice person to return that bag to it's owner. i bet that the person who got their bag back like that was so happy and glad of it. and yes, it does go to show that there are still some honest people in this world. and to answer your question about if i found a bag like that would i return it? it at all possible, and i could find the owner of the bag, yes, i would return it to them. if there was no i.d. in it or anything like that, i would just keep it for myself instead of turning it to the police. what would they do with it? put it in the lost and found? or somebody at the police department keep it? lol you know?

take care and have a beautiful afternoon.

It had an ID in it. She had her passport in the bag. Luck woman to get it back.

I'm not sure, but I think I heard somewhere that genuine Rolexes have some sort of ID number particular to each one that identifies the rightful owner. Plus the passport was a good clue to identify the owner. However, one wonders what that woman was doing with them that she could forget the bag.


myLot reputation of 94/100. TheCatLady (2753)   ranked 421 out of 26,925 in people  4 years ago

I could imagine Rolexes would with the price of them. My gosh they are over priced.

I commend for such honesty! and it's very rare to see people of that kind nowadays. Yes i believe there are still few people who remains to be honest despite the very tempting situation they are in. In my case if there is a name of the owner of the stuff I will returned it because that is not mine too and I will be very guilty if I keep it even if I know I can be able to return it.


myLot reputation of 94/100. TheCatLady (2753)   ranked 421 out of 26,925 in people  4 years ago

Yes very few people are that honest these days. It's a good thing he found it and not the next passenger.

Wow, an honest person! Far and few and in between we find these people. Good for him.

Yes, I would have returned it as much as I could REALLY use that money, I do believe in Karma all the way. It's not mine and would only bring sadness to me I'm sure. Plus, I have enough problems sleeping at night, I don't need to add something like that to the list.


myLot reputation of 94/100. TheCatLady (2753)   ranked 421 out of 26,925 in people  4 years ago

I wouldn't feel right either if I kept all those things that weren't mine. Karma is so true. What goes around comes around.

This is an honest man. I wish to the Lord Above that everyone was that way. Returning something of someone else's just because it wasn't yours. Gee, what a concept.

It is commendable, and I believe this man will be greatly blessed of God.

Yes, I would have returned it. The admonition of the Good Book is to "love your neighbour as yourself." I take that very seriously. I believe it not should only be something we hear on a Sunday, but it is something that we should also live out daily.


myLot reputation of 94/100. TheCatLady (2753)   ranked 421 out of 26,925 in people  4 years ago

I would return it also. I try to do what's right.

The good book also says that we should return lost objects. (Deut. 22:1-3) It talks about returning a lost ox.

Well if I hadn't just heard on tv about yet another father who shook his baby or how a single woman who lives at home with her parents and 6 kids under the age of 7 decides to have octuplets just to get a girl...then maybe my faith would be restored. I think sometimes it seems for every good deed you hear about you hear about 5 bad ones. I think it is great that he returned it. I would have done the same thing.


myLot reputation of 94/100. TheCatLady (2753)   ranked 421 out of 26,925 in people  4 years ago

I would have returned it also. Especially since it was easy to trace the rightful owner. She did have ID in the bag. She's darn lucky it was him and not a dishonest cabbie.

This is another example of the kind of people who know right from wrong and acted on it. Cheers!!


myLot reputation of 94/100. TheCatLady (2753)   ranked 421 out of 26,925 in people  4 years ago

He does know right from wrong. Most people know that retuning it is the right thing. Knowing what is right though doesn't mean they will do it.

Thank you for sharing this story it is nice to know that there are people out there in the world that are still like this. I returned a wallet that looked like it had a lot of money in it. I just hope it got to its rightfull owner and not just the person at the front counter that I gave it to.


myLot reputation of 94/100. TheCatLady (2753)   ranked 421 out of 26,925 in people  4 years ago

I found a lost wallet once too. I opened it up and saw a green card in it along with a small amount of cash. I looked in the phone book and found the owner and called them up to say I found the wallet. I wouldn't have felt right keeping the money when I could find the owner so easily.

I would have returned it. It is nice to know that there are still good, honest people in the world. I would have given the cabbie a reward too, if it had been my bag.


myLot reputation of 94/100. TheCatLady (2753)   ranked 421 out of 26,925 in people  4 years ago

The lady gave him $200 as a reward. That's quite a nice reward for being honest. I don't take rewards. I tell people to give the reward money to charity.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Aurone (2819)   ranked 717 out of 26,925 in people  4 years ago

That was very nice of here. One time I found someone's credit card and return it to them and they gave me a giftcard to a local restaurant.

But how nice that you ask people to donate to charity instead of giving you a reward. Thats very noble.

I think it is really nice that you have got all the valuables back from the taxi driver. You are actually very lucky that you got an encounter from such a wonderful person. I have once forgotten my cellphone in the auto rickshaw and that chap just ran away with the same. He did not return the ame to me. So it is difficult to have faith in people these days.


myLot reputation of 94/100. TheCatLady (2753)   ranked 421 out of 26,925 in people  4 years ago

It wasn't me that lost the stuff. It was a lady who took a taxi. It is really nice she got all her stuff back. It is difficult to have faith in people, then someone does the right thing and restores my faith in human kind.
