优步司机捡到乘客装有大量现金的包后……

Esbon Kamau is a driver in Hoover. On a Tuesday afternoon, he picked up Alex Tisdale, a 16-year-old boy. Alex shared the exciting news of getting an $8,000 Christmas gift from his father with the driver. He wanted to buy a new motorcycle with the money.

However, something terrible took place when Kamau noticed a red bag at the back of his seat after Alex got off. Kamau opened the bag and found a huge amount of money inside it. He quickly knew it was Alex’s. Rather than keeping it, he decided to hold onto the money until he could report it to Uber. At the same time, Alex found his money was lost and was wondering where he could have left it.

Unable to locate each other, both of them used the Uber APP to report the missing bag. Finally, they got in touch with each other over the phone. Kamau gave the money back to Alex. Alex thanked the driver by giving him $10.

Kamau shared a piece of advice for other Uber drivers, emphasizing (强调) the importance of doing the right thing at the right time.
