A London taxi driver became an internet hero after returning a $86,000 bag that a passenger had forgotten in his car.
Terry, the London taxi driver, was driving Hana Al Hai, owner of a clothing brand in Dubai, around the city when she accidentally left behind a Hermès Kelly Pochette crocodile bag, which retails for more than $80,000.
Upon inspecting the lost bag, the driver noticed there was no contact information for the woman. However, he quickly realized it was no ordinary bag and began researching more information about who the owner of the luxury item might be.
Inside it, he found a card from The Lounge at Dubai Mall and contacted them hoping they had a record. Miraculously, this led the driver to find Al Hai at her hotel to return the bag.
She recorded the moment for social media, and since then, the video has amassed millions of views. “I would like to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your incredible honesty and kindness in returning my bag,” said Al Hai.
“When you couldn’t find any contact, most people might have given up, but you went above and beyond. Your quickness in checking my signature at Dubai Mall through The Lounge and reaching out to them by email was simply extraordinary.”
“Thanks to your effort, I was contacted and managed to get back in touch with you, and the fact that you personally came back from Sussex the next day to return my belongings, safe and completely intact, says a lot about your character,” she reflected.
“Once again, thank you for going the extra mile, I will not forget,” Al Hai concluded. According to the taxi driver, to reward him for his honesty, she invited him to take a trip to Dubai with all expenses paid.
