Thai taxi driver returns $410,000 usd in gold to owner.

 

A Thai taxi driver, Friday March 16th, 2012, returned 8.2 kilograms ( 18 pounds ) of gold ornaments worth around $410,000 to their owner who had left in his taxi three days ago, police said.

Bangkok cabbie Saksri Ketsikaew, 56, he spent two days driving around Bangkok searching for the owner because he had no contact number.

He said he contacted community radio after he learned gold shop owner Eakerat Kanokwattana, 60, had filed a complaint with police and the story of the missing gold hit local headlines. But police were not convinced he had a heart of gold.

"His excuse doesn't make sense if he intended to return the gold to its owner as he knew where they got off". case officer lieutenant Colonel Udom Sukprasert told AFP.

Eakerat, who owns a gold shop in the city of Ubon Rachathani, came to Bangkok with his wife to do a gold trade in Chinatown and got a taxi on Tuesday evening to the northern outskirt of Bangkok. But he later realized he had left his bag full of gold ornament in the taxi and offered a reward for their return.

Thai television news Friday March 16th, 2012 showed a relived Eakerat giving taxi driver gold worth $6,400 usd as his reward.

 

Is $6,400 reward too small or just good reward of the worth of $410,000? 

Any idea?
