Cab driver who returned $187,000 left behind by passenger says he's 'disappointed' by $100 reward
MacCausland, who has been working
as a taxi driver for 50 years, said the man he carried in his taxi
inherited the cash after living in a homeless shelter for six months.
The money was returned to the unnamed man after police determined he was
the rightful owner.
'I thought maybe he would give $500 or $1,000, maybe one of those bundles,' the taxi driver told the New York Daily News .
'I’ve never seen money like that before. It was quite a sight when they dumped it on the table.'
He was relieved when police discovered the inheritance paperwork, adding: 'I know if it wasn't they'd come looking for me.'
'This
hackney driver exhibited exemplary behavior and his honest deed should
be recognized,' Police Commissioner William Evans said in a statement.
