Cabbie drives 240 miles to return $21,000

A heart warming story but what the hell is an elderly lady doing with $21,000 in cash? Daily Mail

When an Italian grandmother accidentally left $21,000 (£13,000) cash in the back of a New York taxi, police said she should not get her hopes up.

Felicia Lettieri thought she had ruined her family's Christmas and her visit to America when she lost the money on December 24.[...]


But cab driver Mukul Asaduzzaman had other ideas after he discovered an address in Mrs Lettieri's handbag.

The 28-year-old thought nothing of driving 60 miles to a house in the Long Island town of Patchogue.

When he discovered that no-one was home, Asaduzzaman left his mobile phone number and a note that said: 'Don't worry, Felicia... I'll keep it safe.'
