That's terrible, I don't doubt the cabbie would have turned it in, some of those guys are upstanding to the point of naive, all they know is family, honor, and work. I take a lot of cabs, and some of them are legit good people, in TJ today, I was talking a cab to the border from lunch, and the driver was asking if I was going home, I said I was, just coming from eating lunch, and he said 'Good life'. Without a touch of envy, or sarcasm, or resentment. Like, that was luxurious, to grab lunch somewhere. Those guys work hard, esp. in Mexico, 12 hour shifts and sometimes not breaking even.
