How low we have sunk
Since when is honesty in your personal behavior supposed to get a cash reward?

If he had turned it over to the police they would have just kept it all for suspicious activity.

$100 is probably a good hourly rate. $187 may have been better....

He had to return it if the owner had proof it was left there. Of course, it would be one’s word against another, I guess.

Typical of today’s society ... the assignment of a “cash value” to honesty.

With all due respect to the reporter and the cabbie, he is morally required to return the money. That is it. The idiot who left it behind is not really required to give the cabbie anything in return , especially if it wasn't his money, and he otherwise couldn't afford to give the cabbie ANY amount.
That said, 100 bucks is kinda cheap.

My first thought was that any guy who would be carrying around $187k would probably have the wherewithal to get a couple of leg breakers to come looking for you.
Then I found out the guy was previously homeless and had just come into all this money (what financial institution would give someone that much cash?) and he’s probably not quite right in the head.
The cabbie probably kept him from blowing it all on booze, dope and hookers for a couple days.

I agree with the cabbie, what an ungrateful cheapskate.

Back in the late 70's in the Newark NJ area, a guy was out for an early morning run and found a bag of cash that fell out of the back of a Brinks truck. The bad held $1.1 million in cash that was on its way to be burned. He turned it in and got a $1,000 reward. I remember his interview on television where he told the reporter how disappointed he was in the size of the reward. he expected more. He was a regular guy who worked in a warehouse. A few months later his wife divorced him.
Keep the cash, and the cannolis.

He should have used the danger money argument. Or stayed where he was and let the police take the money from his parked cab.

Homeless. I will bet he blows the entire lot of it in 6 months and is back on the street homeless. There is a reason the homeless are their. Mental illness or drug addiction. With either one, he is going to blow through that entire inheritance in short order and be back homeless once again. Mark my words.

I remember a saying from my native England. I have not heard it said for years: Herewith.
Virtue is it's own reward.
Now this man will never have to look over his shoulder had he stole a lot of this money. Never have to worry about gossip from his associates as to "how come he is suddenly rich". No unpleasant enquiries from the police. No foolish spending on stuff he does not really need.
He is as free as a bird in the air.

The cabbie did the right thing.
The “homeless” guy did not.
Oh well.
Dem’s da breaks.
