An Italian tourist who lost about $21,000 USD in Euro cash, thousands more in expensive jewellery and some passports has just had a lucky break from a Bangladeshi taxi driver in New York.
The cabbie found the money and jewellery in a purse that was left in his cab and drove 80 km to a Long Island home to return the lost goods, claiming that he was always taught by his mother to be honest and hard working.
Now perhaps someone would like to teach the tourists that travelling with that much money in a wallet is really NOT a good idea…
