Honest Cabbie in New York

A taxi driver returned a black bag carrying 31 diamond rings to a passenger who earlier had given him a 30-cent tip on an $11 ride

Hours after Chowdhury Osman dropped off the passenger, he tracked her down through a flurry of phone calls and returned the bag, which she had left in the taxi’s trunk…:slight_smile:

Re: Honest Cabbie in New York

^ I sure hope she wasnt, or this guy will get alot of budduaz j/k

Do you have a URL sind? I wonder if he peeked inside the bag before returning it or not hehe. Anyways, if this is really true, it just shows that insaaniyaat naam ki cheez still exists.

Re: Honest Cabbie in New York

^ Yeah its true, it was on the news twice today.

I asked if she was Jewish because i remember it happened a few times,
coupla jews left thier jewels in teh backseat and the Muslim driver returned it, always.

How bleeping stupid does someone hav eto be to leave diamonds in the TRUNK?!??!?!?? Maybe it's a desi thing but whenever we travel, we keep our precious jewelery WITH us. She shouldn't've gotten it back, it'd serve her right for being such a moron.

Re: Honest Cabbie in New York

If I remember correctly, a brazilian soccer player who was part of their world cup winning squad 12 years ago did the same thing, left all the prize money/medals in some cab's trunk, except he didnt get it back...

There are some really honest people around... My dad a few days ago lost his wallet with all his CCs, ss card, id card etc in Islamabad. This one guy after 3-4 days called us, and told us that he found it, but he immediately started reassuring him that he found no money in the wallet, and my dad said that he didnt have any in there in the first place, and then the guy seemed so relieved, as he said that he was scared that someone might have taken the money out and thrown it away, and my dad might think he took it out. When my dad went to get it from him, he saw that he was a very poor man, living in a 1 bedroom quarter, but poverty didnt affect his character at all.

Trust a Jew and a Gujju to leave a 30 cent tip...If at all...
