#1 Notice to all you illeagal that think you have a right to be here: Use these 2 examples for your own actions. These guys came to America the right way and have probably busted their ass every day to get where they are.
Rhetorical question time: how many non immigrant taxi drivers would have returned the lost goods?

#2 Probably more than you might think USN-R.
NYC Cabbies return stuff all the time, and we have 311 to check up on the lost and found.
This is espically due to 9/11- ALL the cab services put out Mayday calls to help people to hospitals, rescue workers to GZ, and anybody needing to get out of the war zone.
I know- I was there, and it was transmitted across all NYC radio stations. Cabbies pitched in what they had- transport.
Meanwhile, I can still hear the F-16s banking overhead...

#3 F.R.: Thanks.
My experience (in a myriad of cities) w/ cabs and other people-centric occupations is that the tourist / business guy/ whatever is a target. Not necessarily for bodily harm, but a target as in the separation of financial related 'stiff' from him.
Appreciate the setting straight of the record for this small town Michigan boy.
