Story (http://www.breitbart.com/news/2005/11/18/051118193522.2gjfs87p.html)


A Los Angeles taxi driver
distinguished himself by his honesty after finding a pouch filled with
diamonds worth 350,000 dollars in the back of his cab, police said. 

At first, Afghan immigrant Haider Sediqi, 40, paid little attention
when he found the small brown pouch in the back of his car after
dropping off a fare at Los Angeles airport on Wednesday.

But later in the day, Sediqi's jaw dropped when he opened the pouch to
discover a series of clear plastic boxes filled with a fortune in cut
diamonds, carefully mounted in Styrofoam. 

The honest cabbie, a father of two who immigrated to the United States
in the 1990s, immediately called police and handed over the king's
ransom in precious stones. 
 The haul
was returned to its relieved and grateful owner, New York jewellery
trader Eric Austein, airport police said. 
 
 Fuck that. Finders keepers. I could use 350K.

Fuck that. Finders keepers. I could use 350K.=Yeah, but to move those stones you gotta deal with Doug the Head, Cousin Avi, Frankie Four Fingers, Boris the Blade, and if things really go tits up, Brick Top.

Yea, where's an immigrant gonna dump 350K worth of stones without getting noticed?  That's such a rediculous thing to find you're forced to return it to the owner.

How careless do you have to be to lose 350 G's worth of diamonds?!  I mean, if I had that bag on me it would be so moist from my sweaty palms from me gripping it so tight.   Precious...  My precious!
