Wow, can't honestly say I'd have done the same, that's just so much....

Good to see the comments are made by the usual internet mental midgets.

Or he could have kept the valuables and wake up one morning wearing cement galoshes...

If he kept the valuables, and stayed in the city, then he deserved the galoshes....

That's advertising its value, and makes it a bigger target: http://gizmodo.com/#!5520706/thief-steals-mans-ipad-and-pinky-finger

Besides, 100k is chump change in NYC. If you're carrying around a million, then you use a limo and an armed escort.

I bet you the cabbie was going to keep it, he just got pressed to give it back when the guy tracked him down.

The article sure gives one that impression. The guy who left it behind had to search out the cabbie, and the cabbie didn't turn it into the police or his employer (and I imagine the employer has policies on what to do with left-behind belongings!).
