Taxi driver returns $50K to passenger
Posted: 26 April 2011388 Days ago

 

After finding it on the backseat of his Cambridge cab, an honest taxi driver has returned a bag containing 50,000 dollars, 1,000 euros and a laptop to the owner, despite it being worth a year-and-a-half's wages.

 According to newspaper reports, Igel Lipscombe, 54, discovered bundles of cash - worth 30,000 pounds- stuffed inside a rucksack abandoned on the backseat after dropping off a Middle Eastern businessman in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire.

Instead of pocketing the cash, he drove his taxi straight to the city's police station where the businessman was reporting his case.

Lipscombe handed back the money, then gave the Arab businessman a lift to a local pub to celebrate - and even pocketed a 500-dollars tip. 

"I wouldn't have kept it. I've always been an honest man. I wouldn't do it if it was a million pounds," said Lipscombe.
