A TAXI driver in the UK has made a friend for life after returning a passenger’s bag of money — a $20,000 bag of money that is.
Car dealer Adrian Quinn was on his way to a car auction with the bag of money and was running late so didn’t have a chance to bank it, reported The Telegraph UK.
Mr Quinn said it was unusual for him to carry so much money, but he had just cashed a cheque from his inheritance after his mother died in October.
“I was walking across the car park when I realised I hadn’t got my bag and I panicked. I tried to flag down another taxi, but they all had fares. I was sick. My body just went into shutdown and I didn’t know what to do. I was just in a daze,” 46-year-old Quinn said.
“If I’d lost that bag it would have been the end of my business. We have built it up from nothing for the last nine years and we are sole traders. We don’t have the backing of banks. It is hard work, but it earns us a living.”
