Cab Driver returns missing $187G and gets a $100 Reward

A Boston taxi driver was praised by police Tuesday after he returned a $187,000 cash inheritance that was left in his cab over the weekend.

Raymond "Buzzy" MacCausland picked up an unidentified male passenger on Saturday at the corner of Tremont Street and Massachusetts Avenue in downtown Boston. After he dropped the man off, MacCausland discovered a backpack in the backseat of the cab.

While searching the bag for identification, MacCausland discovered the cash, bound in stacks of $100, $50, and $20 bills. 

"It seems this guy has come into his inheritance and left it in the cab," Boston Police spokesman Rachel McGuire told the Boston Herald. 

MacCausland brought the bag and the cash to police heaquarters, in keeping with city law. Police said the passenger called about the missing bag while officers were inspecting it. The man was reunited with the bag after showing proof of ownership.

"This hackney driver exhibited exemplary behavior and his honest deed should be recognized," Boston Police Commissioner William Evans said in a statement. "His actions represent the high standards that our department has for our drivers."

MacCausland received a $100 reward.

only 100 dollars  reward 

LOL  That was my first reaction and wanted to see what other people thought.  What a cheap mfukker.

It was the right thing to do because no doubt you would get caught.

But a measly $100 reward??? 

there was a similar story in NY in june. the guy got 1000$reward lol

I hope IRS audits this cheap guy's behind

According to Daily News article

Cheap guy lived for free in a shelter and won't properly tip this honest cab driver.

That's just wrong of the cheap bum. I agree a $1,000 minimum reward here. Now I wish the cabbie had just kept the money.

the right thing would have been at least 10%

How in the fack would you forget a bag with 187000 in it?

100 tip is pretty much a slap in the face.

That's pretty bad.  I know a lot of cheap people, but this is over-the-top cheap. 

Pretty wild, huh?

Most I've ever carried was $20K.

And I was sweating the entire time.

You have to be a complete moron to leave $187G in a Taxi Cab.

I have to disagree.  The money was left in the cab.  If the cabbie didn't return it, he would have been stealing it.

is there a camera in the cab ? or street camera
