A tourist from Russia was more than happy after she returned to her lost bag, which were 17,000 euros. The forgetful passenger of a Roman taxi left her luggage in it, and the honest Italian, who was delivering the lady, was found to give the loss.
The 31-year-old Russian woman had already panicked and put a local police department on her ears. She told law enforcement officers that she did not remember the brand, let alone the license plate of the car, but remembered that she was driving from Piazza Risorgimento to Piazza del Popolo. With such a small amount of data, the city police turned to the transport operator to identify the driver if possible. Later, they managed to find a man who handed over the lost bag to a scattered tourist. By the way, she noted that the entire amount was in place.
Renzo Ubaldi, 61, who turned out to be that noble driver, said that he found a black bag in the back seat of his taxi after he landed a couple of Russian tourists near Piazza del Popolo.
“I turned around to check if there was anything left, I always do,” Renzo explains. “Fortunately, I discovered the bag earlier than the new passenger. I opened it and saw a lot of money. I returned to the place where I dropped off the tourists, but they were already gone. Having no idea what to do with my find, I immediately contacted the dispatcher and explained the whole situation. When the woman received her lost bag, she hugged me and burst into tears, relieved to find that all the money is in place.»
When asked if tourists from Russia thanked him for his good deed, Renzi shared that they expressed their gratitude financially, but did not specify how much. The taxi driver admitted that this is not the first time that valuable things or money are forgotten in his taxi. He said that he had previously found computers, mobile phones and bags, but always sought to return them to their owners. However, the hero of the day noted that he was faced with such a major find for the first time. Meanwhile, his name does not leave the lips of the entire Eternal City. Representatives of the administration of Rome have already expressed a desire to meet with an incredibly honest taxi driver. As for the Russian tourists, who found such an amount, the police began checking banknotes to make sure that forgetful foreigners were not involved in the crimes.
By the way, noble taxi drivers live not only in Italy. So, at the end of December there was a case that cannot be called a miracle.
The lucky American who won a considerable sum in one of Las Vegas casinos (we are talking about 300 thousand dollars) was so happy that he did not notice how he left all his winnings in a taxi.
The car driver, Gerardo Gamboa, only found a bundle in the back seat when he picked up a new passenger. Asking him to be a witness, Gamboa went to the police station, carrying hundreds of thousands of forgotten dollars with him. The police had to tinker a lot, identifying the imprudent lucky. In the end, he was found with the help of the casino owner, where he won a fabulous amount. When a scattered American was handed over his forgotten money, he immediately declared that he would not leave a noble taxi driver without a reward for his sincere act. In addition, honest Gamboa, his fleet called "Driver of the Year" and paid $ 1,000 bonus, and also paid for dinner in one of the most chic restaurants in the city.
