Woman delayed in cab after finding money
"He wouldn't let me out of the car," Ginny Narsete told the Chicago Sun-Times.
Narsete, 57, was taking the cab to the train station in Chicago Thursday night when she noticed a bag with the logo of La Bamba, a Mexican restaurant with 19 locations, including one in downtown Chicago. Inside the bag, was a deposit slip and $5,000 in cash, she told the Sun-Times.
Narsete told the driver to take her to a police station so she could drop off the money. The driver, however, just kept driving while insisting the money should be left at a cab stand.
Narsete called her husband, who yelled at the driver and threatened to call 911 if the driver did not immediately drive to the police station, the Sun-Times said. At the station, the police determined the bag had been forgotten by a restaurant manager, said Ramiro Aguas, co-owner of the restaurant chain.
"It was very nice of her to bring that money back," Aguas said.
As for the cab driver, he took Narsete's last $20 for his fare and disappeared, leaving police to get her to the train station.

Sorry manager. But still he or someone from the restaurant should make good on that return.

Took her last $20. Did the restaurant owner give her a reward for returning the money? Hello! She returned $5,000 to you.
I'm thinking he must have given her some money for returning the bag and $5,000 but that it wasn't reported in this story.

I agree with J.Rook. This is one that should have not gotten away. What is wrong with these police officers. There is no reason why they could not have found this idiot and arrested him for all these unlawful acts. And people wonder why we don't have confidence in law inforcement.
