NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Last August, New York City taxi driver Hossam Abdalla held a case that contained nearly a million dollars' worth of gold, diamonds and titanium.
But he soon got something he considers more valuable: the satisfaction of getting it back to the jeweler who left it in his cab.
Abdalla was named New York's cab driver of the year at a Taxi and Limousine Commission ceremony today. ``Honesty for me is everything,'' says the Egyptian immigrant who's been driving since 1999.
Most of the drivers honored today were recognized for returning lost property. One returned a camcorder and videotape documenting a child's recovery from cancer.
