New York taxi driver finds 31 rings in taxi and tracks down the passenger..



NEW YORK: She gave him just a 30-cent (23 euro cents) tip, but a New York cabbie DIDN’T hesitate before tracking down a passenger to return 31 diamond rings she had left behind. “I’m not going to take someone else’s money or property to make me rich. I don’t want it that way,” said Osman Chowdhury, 41, who is from Bangladesh.
He was even reluctant to accept the $100 check the passenger offered as a reward, eventually accepting it to cover the fares he lost while trying to locate her.
On Monday evening, he picked up the woman at a Manhattan hotel and drove her to an apartment building about 15 blocks away. She gave him $20 to pay the fare and asked for $9 back. Hours later, at about 10 pm, three other passengers with luggage discovered the woman’s suitcase when Chowdhury popped the trunk open for them. Chowdhury first drove to the building where he had dropped off the woman. But he had no idea in which of the many apartments she might be and didn’t want to cause a disruption by knocking on doors. He took the suitcase to the Manhattan headquarters of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance, a drivers’ advocacy group to which he belongs. He and the alliance president looked inside and found two display cases with 31 diamond rings inside. “I saw flashing, and I said, ‘Oh, my God! Diamonds!’” Chowdhury recalled. “I was shocked. I was trembling.” AP
