A Southern California cab driver’s simple act of honesty has turned to gold.
Two weeks ago, the driver, Haider Sediqi, tracked down a jeweler and returned to him the $350,000-worth of diamonds he left in the back seat of the taxi.
As a way of saying “thank you,” the jeweler sent the cabbie a $10,000 check and a diamond bracelet.
But the honest cabbie was just as impressed with the man’s thank-you note. The jeweler wrote that the cab driver had “changed his life.”
The driver is putting the money in a bank account to help pay for his children’s schooling. And he’s giving the bracelet to his wife, who assured him he did the right thing in returning the diamonds.
