Esbon Kamau's Tuesday afternoon passenger pickup in Hoover seemed ordinary. He was the delighted driver of 16-year-old Alex Tisdale on this particular day, who excitedly told him that his pleased father had given him $8,000 for a new motorcycle for Christmas.
On the fifteen-minute drive to John Hawkins Parkway, Tisdale made a very positive impression on Kamau. The unexpected happened, though, when Kamau dropped off Tisdale to pick up another passenger and spotted an abandoned red bag at the back of his seat.
When Kamau opened the bag, he found a large sum of cash inside. He chose to hang onto the money until he could inform Uber about the occurrence, as opposed to retaining it. In the meantime, Tisdale nervously went back where he had put the money, not realizing it was vanished.
Both parties used the Uber app to report the lost item after they were unable to find each other. Uber's intervention made it possible for them to speak over the phone. Kamau wisely decided to take the car back to Tisdale without delay.
Relieved and taken aback by Kamau's honesty, Tisdale gave him a large gratuity of ten dollars. Tisdale was really touched by this kind of generosity and counseled others to express gratitude for what they have.
After giving some thought to the event, Kamau offered some guidance to other Uber drivers, stressing the value of acting morally when necessary. His belief in the proverb "good deeds come back tenfold" is consistent with the fortunate result of this accidental meeting.
