A taxi driver in Hanoi returned $14,000 on Tuesday to a South Korean customer who left the cash in his car the previous night.
Driver Nguyen Thanh Trung picked up Park Saejin, a businessman now working in Hanoi, on Monday night.
After dropping Park at a hotel, he found a bag full of cash and a smart phone on the back seat and called his company who contacted the customer.
Stories of taxi drivers returning forgotten assets to customers have been earning the service a better image after many complaints of scams, rip-offs and even robberies committed by Vietnamese cabbies.
Last October, an American man identified only as Patterson also recovered his bag containing VND18 million ($807), some foreign currency, a laptop, a tablet and his personal papers at a police station in the central province of Quang Binh, three days after he left them in a taxi in Hoi An, around 300 kilometers away.
He sent a note expressing his thanks to the honest taxi driver and police.
