TAXI DRIVER WHO RETURNED $187,000 LEFT IN HIS CAR BY A PASSENGER SAYS HE WAS "DISAPPOINTED" BY $100 REWARD.
MacCausland, who has been working as a taxi driver for 50 years, said the man he carried in his taxi inherited the cash after living in a homeless shelter for six months. The money was returned to the unnamed man after police determine he was the rightful owner.
"I thought maybe he would give $500 or $1000, maybe one of those bundles," the taxi driver told the New York Daily News.
"I've never seen money like that before. It was quite a sight when they dumped it on the table."
He was relieved when police discovered the inheritance paperwork, adding: "I know if it wasn't they'd come looking for me."
"This hackney driver exhibited exemplary behaviour and his honest deed should be recognized," Police Commissioner William Evans said in a statement.
This is not the first time MacCausland has been inadequately rewarded for his honesty. He once returned a briefcase filled with $10,000 to its owner who gave him no rewards.

See Mr. Trump's statements after the cut
Though Mr. Trump acknowledged Saddam Hussein was "was a bad guy", he praised him for his efficiency in killing terrorists saying the current Iraq is a "Harvard for terrorism." He also said it was better to keep dictators in power in the Middle East.
"He was a bad guy - really bad guy. But you know what? He did well. He killed terrorists. He did that so good. They didn't read them the rights. They didn't talk."
"They were terrorists, over. Today Iraq is Harvard for terrorism," Mr. Trump said on Tuesday during a rally where he was introduced by Tennessee Senator Bob Corker, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committe.
Hillary Clinton has responded to Mr. Trump's comments.
"Trump praise for brutal strongmen seemingly knows no bounds."
"Trump yet again lauded Saddam Hussein as a great killer of terrorists, noting with approval that he never bothered to read anyone their rights," Jake Sullivan, Senior Campaign Adviser of Hillary Clinton said in a statement, after noting Trump also praised North Korea's Kim Jong Un and Russia's Vladimir Putin.
"In reality, Saddam Hussein's regime was a sponsor of terrorism - one that paid families of Suicide Bombers who attacked Israelis, among other crimes," he said.
"Trump's cavalier compliments for brutal dictators and the twisted lessons he seems to have learned from their history, again demonstrate how dangerous he would be as Commander-In-Chief and how unworthy he is of the office he seeks."

Stop all the PR stunts and get to work doing what y'all became celebrities for.FATHER ACCIDENTALLY SHOT AND KILLED HIS SON DEAD AT A GUN RANGE
A teenager Stephen Brumby, 14 was accidentally shot by his own father, William Brumby, 64 during a target practise at a gun range in Sarasota, Florida.
According to the statement by the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office;
"After firing a round, the spent shell casing struck the wall causing it to deflect and fall into the back of Mr. Brumby's shirt. Brumby then used his right hand, which was holding the handgun in an attempt to remove the casing. While doing so, he inadvertently pointed the firearm directly behind him and accidentally fired. The round struck his 14-year old son, Stephen.: the statement reads.
Mr. Brumby said he had taken his son to the Florida range to teach him how to be safe around guns but admitted he himself had committed an "operating error" which had claimed his life.
"The gun didn't kill my boy, I did. Every round in the gun is your responsibility. When it fires, you need to stand to account for it. That's what I've spent the last two days doing, accounting for my operating error"
Mr. Brumby said that all seven of his children were taught gun safety because the family had weapons for self-defence at home.
"We wanted our kids to be aware of guns. I wanted them to be comfortable around them and understand them."
He has been told he will not gave chatges because it was an accident. "It was a freak accident, I made a mistake."- he added.
