Cab driver returns 4 million dollar violin
An honest cab driver from Newark, New Jersey received a special city medallion on Wednesday from Mayor Cory Booker, for reuniting a Grammy-nominated violinist with a 4 million dollar violin he left in the back of his taxi cab.
Mohamed Khalil the cab driver who found the violin said: "It's something not belonging to me, and I have to return it to the owner."
Meanwhile, Cory Booker, Mayor of Newark added that: "This is a moment where a cab driver in our city saw something awry and did not take personal advantage, but did the right thing, showed character, showed ethics, showed values, showed a sense of love for his fellow man or woman."
Violinist Philippe Quint exited a minivan cab at New York City's Battery Park early on Monday, leaving the 1723 Antonio Stradivarius inside.
The violin spent the remainder of the night on the seat of the cab, which Khalil parked on a Newark street. By the morning, he was still unaware of what he was carrying.
By then, the frantic Quint was calling the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and Newark's Taxi Commission, which put the word out that the violin was missing.
On Monday afternoon, Khalil checked his taxi while at Newark Liberty International Airport and discovered the violin case with the instrument inside.
Quint soon arrived, dropped to his knees and shed tears of joy. He gave Khalil 100 dollars for his honesty.

Newark Protesters Urge End To Iraq War
The event also highlighted violence in the streets of Newark, particularly the recent killings of three college students in a West Ward schoolyard.
That's what brought James Harvey, whose 20-year-old son, Dashon, was one of the three killed. Standing away from the crowd in Lincoln Park, Harvey watched as the speakers took turns at the podium. He wore a tired expression on his face, but said wanted to show up.
"Anything to stop the war," Harvey said, "to stop the guns and the violence." The event also highlighted violence in the streets of Newark, particularly the recent killings of three college students in a West War... more
