Honest cabbie returns bag with rings, Rolex

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I wouldn't be able to sleep at night either. It wouldn't matter how desperate I was for cash.

naw they wouldnt be my style!

You can always get them resized. Or pawn them. Na I'm to honest for that.

Identity theft sucks. I had someone steal mine and get int trouble with the law. I had lost my drives licensor and got a new one. Someone found my old one, got busted for something and gave my license as ID. I had to go to talk to the DA. I said I didn't do whatever it was. I was in Italy at the time, all summer long, so it couldn't have been me. He kept telling me that if I plead guilty I would only do 1 year in jail. What part of I was out of the country all summer didn't he get? I finally asked the DA what I should do because I'm innocent. He told me he was the one who was prosecuting me, so he couldn't help me with that. HUH? I was really really naive and thought that DA meant he was on my side. LOL. Yes lawful people are that ignorant. After he realized I really was that stupid regarding the law and justice system he dropped the case. This was before identity theft was well known.

I remember that story. The poor man who lost it must have been really glad toget it back.

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

Thanks for the BR.

I would hope most people are basically honest. But when it comes to large sums of money peoples dishonesty can surface. How much it takes is different for each person. Let's say you or I found $500. We would return it without thinking. But now lets say it was $50,000. It might take a lot of thinking and struggling with our conscience to do what's right and to give it back. $50,000 is a heck of a lot of money. I would still do whats right, but it would be so tempting not to.

She gave him $200. I doubt the company he is associated with give a hoot. Cab drivers either own their own cab or pay out in advance to either the company or cab owner for the use of the cab.

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

You would hope they would. I always hope people will do the right thing, but I don't expect it.

You are right we have no right to keep things that aren't ours. Good people try to return lost objects. If nothing else there reward is having a clean conscious. THat in itself is reward enough.

The next person in the cab could have taken it. There is no way to know who stole it. There is no way to know which driver someone had if they don't check the driver number and ID. Taxi dispatchers just send the next cab in the que to whatever address. It isn't written down anywhere.

He did the right thing. Having a clean conscience is the best reward.

People shouldn't but there are so few that can resit such a temptation that it does make world news. Luckily for the cabbie they didn't name him.

That is luck. I never left anything in my car at car washes. The folks that work there take any and everything in the car.

Very few honest people.
