Cab driver from heaven?

So, I was in Manhattan last week, mostly for leisure...okay, entirely for leisure! Anyway, it was Sunday night and I was tired from standing all day at the Met, so by the time I went for dinner at 8, I was totally pooped out. I had just made a phone call and instead of putting my phone in my handbag, I put it in my jeans front pocket. After the dinner was over, I took the cab back to my hotel, and almost dozed off in the cab. I paid the driver with my credit card instead of cash because I only had 10 bucks and the fare was more than that. Despite this, I made sure I tipped the cab driver, and THANK GOD I did that! About half an hour after crashing on the bed, I decided to charge my phone for the next day, and to my HORROR, I realized I did NOT have my phone with me!!! EEEEKKKKSSSSSS....NOT ANOTHER PHONE...I thought. So I called up my phone and someone answered, someone who didn't speak English, but the sweetest words I've ever heard came out of this mouth..."Phone...Lexington Avenue?" I said yes, yes, oh yess....please don't say no!! Some more sweet words came outta his mouth, "Am on Brooklyn Bridge, call after 15 minutes". And obviously, I did!

He said he was on 4th and 49th, so he should be at my hotel in 5 minutes! I went down, and saw a cab parked across the street. I called my phone again, and he said it was him. I went up to the cab, expecting something weird, like the driver asking for a ransom or something. But nopes, he didn't!! All he said was, "Call phone, see it's yours. No give to wrong person."!!!!! OMG....Can you believe that? He was not only nice, but also smart!!! I gave him 30 bucks, considering I had gotten the phone for free with a 2-year contract with AT&T, but I honestly think I didn't give him enough. I mean to think if it, my phone was an unlocked Samsung Blackjack II, with unlocked GPS and a cracked Garmin Mobile XT which retails for about $99!!!! And to add to that, losing it in a city which you're just visiting and need it more than ever!?!?! He could've easily sold that thing and made at least about a $100 bucks! But he did NOT do that.....he is going to have some awesome karma someday!

But yeah, good cab drivers do exist, whether you like it or not! I know most of you who drive in NYC are going to disagree with me, but c'mon, how many times have you had a cab driver go out of this way and return your phone, and not ask for something in return?
