Adam Woldemarim, an honest 42-year-old Ethiopian cabbie, did a huge favor for someone who won a lot of money in Vegas: He took a bag stuffed with $221,000 and turned it in to security, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

"A lot of people think foreign cabdrivers like us abuse tourists or they long haul their customers or we're just here causing problems and we don't belong here," said a fellow taxi driver. "They never see the good side to us, the honest side."

Upon getting his money back, a young man, 30, gave Adam a big hug and a tip of $2,000.

Mr. Woldermarim will send some of the tip to his family back in Ethiopia.
