Nice cabbie

Temptation wasn't a factor for a cab driver in Atlantic City when a passenger left $2,085 in $100 bills in the back seat.

When the cabbie, Abdelmegid Emam, spotted the cash, he alerted his company and the doorman at the Atlantic City Hilton Wednesday. It didn't take long for his fares to come running back from the city's Convention Center.

Bill Jesse of Dallas, Pa., handed the cabbie a $100 bill.

The cab driver told The Press of Atlantic City he is a Muslim and his faith forbids him to take something that does not belong to him. The Egyptian native said he has five kids and wants to raise them right.
