In as much as his action is highly commendable,I'll like to add that he didn't really have much of a choice.
He works in an organized country and in a company that has the database and information of all their workers so it would've been near impossible to get away with that.
Ones' environment really goes a long way in changing their behavior and influencing their actions,if he was still in Nigeria I'm sure his instincts will have told him to do otherwise except of course he happens to fall in the category of those very rare and genuine Nigerians.

Not true

What IS Not true? Do you Not know that Nigeria is where anything goes?

Environment influences how people behave. If you know say nothing Go Happen, you go do anyhow.

you are right
he knows he has less chance of getting away with it if he decides to keep the money
and just one bad review will spoil his record for life

What if he hadn't seen the money. What if some other passenger took it... Wouldn't he still get a negative review? And will that ruin his record for life

Think!

Hello, your post tells a lot, even though your premise is totally wrong.
This is because, first. The choice was between declaring or keeping the money. He had both options in his hands and chose the more honourable one. So yes, he had a choice.
Second thing is, as one poster already said. It has nothing to do with any structured organisation or database anything. Its a simple case of the owner's words against his. No cctv, nothing.
Another case for speaking up is that, the owner might not even have realised that
a. His money was lost
b. Where he lost it ( hence the Uber guy is not ever under any suspicion)
That money could have been a poor old lady's medical bills, it could have been kindergarten tuition for his 3 year old daughter, it could be anybody's money, infact, it could have been yours'.
His environment has nothing to do with this also, because a lot of oyinbo people I know would have kept that money.
For goodness' sake the money was in cash, he had already gotten away with it.
The man has proven himself in a class of very rare and genuine Nigerians *already* yet you still doubt his actions?
My dear, what he did was extra-ordinary and we all have to clap very loud as a symbolic gesture of support for people like this. kiss

I dont think so,the man might not remember where he kept the cash,he himself said he was in a hurry,i bet u,thousands of dollars have gone missing in UBER right there in U.S,the white guy who praised him did so because he knew the guy had the option of keeping the cash or returning it,u think he his the first to lose cash while using uber,so many pple did n the drivers kept the money,another passenger might even pick the cash,so cctv will start monitoring all passengers he picked for the whole day.....like they dont steal or rob banks in U.S.A.....Nigerians sef..

Yeah we know. He returned the money because it's Uber where he'll be tracked and discovered if he kept it.

I forgot my phone in an uber in Lagos. Dude brought it back to my office. He didn't even have to. Returning it to their head office in Lekki was ideal but he brought it back to me.

Either way, he could have denied seeing it either.He choose to return it because he's cultured and after a bigger purpose in life not because it happened in the US.
Haven't we seen airport cleaners return money in Nigeria.

Contrarily, If he wanted to keep it, it would have been near impossible to prove that, the money was left in his car.

Yes, Uber would have identified him had the customer notify Uber that, he left something in the driver’s car...but it will essentially boil down to his words against the customer’s and with zero evidence, he wins.

I like the way you ended though, he did it from a genuine heart with integrity.

you don't have valid point my dear brother.
Even here in Nigeria many cab drivers has return tens of millions to the rightful owner.

Even in an organised country as you said many people still go unpunished for crime committed intentionally.

Not true. That man can keep that money somewhere and continue working. There's no evidence to pin him down with. Not like there's CCTV installed in uber to monitor. It'd have been the passenger's word against his.

So learn to celebrate honesty and don't make it look like 'because it is an organized place'.

Gbam. I have lost my wallet in a cab twice and was never returned to me. This happened in NY and Boston. The guy is just a good guy. What he did was exemplary.

You got it all twisted, Yes the U.S. is a Organized country and the company also have information of its employees/drivers but you need to remember that there's rule of law where you just can charge people without proper evidence. Even the persanger new himself that if the driver had denied seeing the money that's case close, he have no proof the driver took his money. You need proof to charge someone of a crime in a Organized society not like in Nigeria. You need to give credit when it's due much respect to naija man.

Having Company Employee/drivers database is not proof that he stole the money
