Oz Sikh cabbie sets example in honesty: A Sikh cabbie in Australia has set an example in honesty after he returned 110,000 dollars to a passenger who had left the bundle of cash in his taxi. The incident occurred in Melbourne when cab driver Lakhwinder Singh Dhillon was doing his routine job of picking and dropping passengers. "On that day, I picked up a few passengers and after a while I noticed a bag lying in my cab," Singh told SBS Punjabi Radio here. He said when he opened the bag, he saw it was full of cash with 11 bundles of 10,000 Australian dollars each. "After an hour or so, the passengers called up the taxi company inquiring about the bag and I told them that it was with me," he said. "I went and returned the bag to the owner who was very happy and said that I was a super honest man," Singh said.
