Taxi driver returns silver medal left in his cab...
ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- A taxi driver returned a silver medal left in his cab by Dutch rower Simon Diederik, Olympics organizers said Wednesday.
Diederik left the medal, which he won Sunday, in a taxi on Monday evening.
After an announcement about the loss to all 5,000 taxis working that night, the medal was handed over to organizers and will be given to the athlete.
The driver will be given a gift for returning the medal, organizers said.
OG
Honorable man to hand it back. Most scumbags Im sure would have keept it.
take it to a pawn shop
That's amazing. You train your whole life in the hopes of winning a medal in the olympics, and when you get one you leave the ****!ng thing in a cab.
Ebay that $hit.
How many here would have keept it? :unsure:
I would have handed it back cause I would feel like a utter total asshole if I didnt
I know I left mine in the hotel room in the last Olympics, no one ever returned it! I won the Silver in being anal retentative. Bastards should have given me Gold, they were idiots, didn't know jack sh*t............
Very honest man, not many of him around.
Hard to sell those with out the papers and number etc etc-they arent real Silver/Gold any longer.
Keep that thing around your neck until you get home. I cant believe he lost it like an idiot.
he must of been "celebrating" pretty hard that night
