Taxi Driver Returns $17,000

A Philippine taxi driver, who has been struggling financially, returns a bag containing $17,000 in cash left by a passenger. The woman just reported to the police when the taxi driver showed up at the precinct. The woman rewarded him $32 dollars. What? That’s it? That was my initial reaction. $32 dollars seems petty and cheap. Not much of a reward for being honest. The $32 was seven times the cab fare. I was really expecting a reward like a $1000 for a guy who doesn’t make that much money and struggling financially. You got to make it worthwhile for people to return the money next time around. Anyhow, that’s a great story and one very lucky woman.

  1. Great story, thanks for sharing.

    We always get news about travel warnings, scams, and all sorts of other problems (that’s what happens when you have the freest press in Asia :) ) - so it’s great to hear a positive story. Kudos to that taxi driver!

  2. It’s a great story. So, Tom Yum and Pad Thai. That sounds really good right about now.
