Nice taxi driver

I must share a heart warming story, & hope I didn't already. Last week while a group of us were leaving La Ropa, the combi's were so full we took a couple of taxis. Later in the evening, our friend Steve told us how he dropped his wallet in the taxi with over 1000 pesos in it. I asked he he knew the number, but he did not take note. (which I thought all did & he does now). I said most are very honest & just call the cab company & let them know where & time etc. He did not, but the next day, a cab picked him up. He told the driver how stupid he felt & should he call the company? Driver said "are you sad?" he said no, embarrassed! Driver reaches under the seat pulls out his wallet & says " are you now happy?"!! Yes, it was the same driver who had dropped him off & drove around & around trying to return his wallet! He had dropped them @ Plaza Kyoto, so didn't know where to go. Saw him the next day & picked Steve up. Steve didn't recognize him. Long story, but he had 2000 not 1000, still in his wallet, tipped & then Steve made up a bunch of cards with Olivers name phone # & cab #470 & passed them out to everyone he knew!!! We got a ride from him the next nite, by chance & when I called him by his name, he looked puzzled until I told him Steve told us & proud he was so honest, as I had told him most were. He said he'd already had many calls!! Great guy & just one of many good stories of cabbies I could tell!!:-D :kingtut: :brilliant:
