Diamond Engagement Ring Tale: How Do You Spell "Gratitude"?
WINS 1010 NewsRadio reports this morning that a Queens taxi driver returned a black travel bag carrying 31 diamond rings to a passenger -- after she paid him a 30-cent tip on a nearly $11 ride.
Hours after Chowdhury Osman had dropped off the passenger, he returned the bag to her, which she had left in the taxi's trunk.
Osman told the Daily News that he never even thought of keeping the gems. He said that he wouldn't take another person's property or money to get rich.
Osman had drive the woman from the Hilton New York to an East 35th Street apartment. For a $10.70 fare, she gave him a $20 bill -- and asked for $9 back.
The woman, who was not identified by the Daily News but told a reporter that she was a jeweler, offered Osman a $100 reward.
He begrudgingly accepted the money -- for the lost fares from tracking her down and returning the bag.

This man is an outstanding person. The jeweler pitiful. Unfortunately, the women based on her actions did not deserve them back. How bout giving the taxi driver at least a $1000.00 reward. It is stories like this man that makes NY a better place, but after seeing how the woman responded, it would probably make another person think twice in the future. Thumbs up to the cab driver, and no words for the cheap unappreciating jeweler.

I have one rule: What you find, is yours! Who lost IT, will learn a lesson. The bag of diamonds seems as something of a great monetary value to an average person but to that woman, it didn't. Otherwise she would have paid more attention to it and also rewarded the honest cabby much better.

She should be ashame of herself! This guy should get some type of recognition for being a good samaritan by the mayor and others who think that he got a really bad deal. NY rocks!

What a cheap woman. She did not deserve her rings back. If he didn't want them he should have thrown them in the garbage. !00 bucks for all that trouble? thirty cents for a tip? How do you spell greed, greed, nasty nasty woman.i would want anyone to know my name either.

We hope to believe the following:
He will get what's coming to him for being such a stand-up person.
She will get what's coming to her for being such a low rent B*&%^.

Wow. Whatever the reward is, you'd think she would be thanking him profusely. The only comment is, "Don't use my name" ?? What about the rest which should have been, "But I want to thank this generous man from the bottom of my heart..." Sheesh.

What a BITCH She has enough money to buy and sell 30,000 worth of bling and lose it but cant com up with at tip thats worth what she could have lost if the guy took the bag and ran!!! She probably gave a bigger tip to the waiter that served her dinner after she got her diamonds back. It just goes to show money cant buy class or common sense
