Isn’t just knowing you did the right thing enough?

A guy in his 20’s left a bag with 221,000 in a taxi. The driver found it and tracked it to the rightful owner. The guy only gave the guy a $2000 tip or reward. It seems like an appropriate reward, right? Apparently that’s not enough and he deserves $8,000 more?
What you’re saying on Facebook:
Jamie Johann-Barney
We shouldn’t always be rewarded for doing the right thing. He is an honorable man the money was a nice bonus too!
Laurie J Self-Cecil Nope. Would have kept it.
Rebecca Phillips Sad that it has to be a decision. Should be automatic to give it back. Mother always said, ‘if it’s not yours, leave it alone.’
David Gustafson I would keep it, you wanna keep your money you better watch it better.
Jericho Paule too cheap! Maybe $10,000
Antonette Benham Yes, he did the right thing. To get anything would be enough. I can think of a few things I could do with 2000. Good man.
Amy West 2k? Lame
