Hello, I had to catch a cab quickly. Just before I got to my destination, I heard a phone ringing. The cab driver wasn't sure if it was his radio at first. He kept looking all over the car and even attempted turning off his radio. I found all this very funny and became suspicious. I was certain it was a phone that was ringing.

Eventually, I felt for the bag beneath me and the ringing phone fell off. The driver did not bother to check who was calling. Same time, some bunch of money fell off from same polythene bag. This man was either not aware there was money inside the bag or he trusted me so much he didn't think I could steal the cash (which I could have so easily done at that point). When I brought his attention to the cash, he simply said "keep am back".

Now,

1. Why would a taxi man put such a large amount of money under the passenger seat, not even under his own seat
2. Why would a taxi man not recognize his ringing tone?

Well, I am talking of a very large sum of money here and I want to believe someone must have forgotten his money in a cab.

When I alighted, I copied the registration number of the cab.

I have intentionally kept some details about the taxi and the driver. If you forgot your money in an Abuja cab today, 6th August 2013, contact me so I can help you trace this man.

Cheers.

NB: I couldn't find a relevant section for this bit of information.

Well from your story, it is obvious the items belong to a passenger who forgot them. But I don't think it's possible for them to be recovered because even though you have the registration of the cab, the driver could deny ever seeing those items in his vehicle. And also from your story, you do not have any evidence against him. Did you take any pix? Did you record your conversation with him? OP, I think the money is gone.

Well, I very much believed the money did not belong to him. In fact, there is no way the man would own such a huge sum and be chasing peanuts on the street. Let the owner come forward first then we see if we can nail the man.

If the owner does not come forward, what do I need more evidence for?
