    This reminds me of the honor system we had in our University in Finland. The student body supplied snacks daily and left them in a designated area in the hallway. The prices were on the front of the box or basket that had the snacks. Everyone that took a snack would simply leave the money in an open box next to the snacks (it was open in case you needed change). There never was anyone watching the snacks, everyone just knew that for this to work, everyone had to be honest and pay for their snacks.

    People always leave things in the cab. I once left a pair of sun glasses and the taxi company called me AND dropped them off at my house… I’m felt very lucky. Next time I’m carrying around a bag of diamonds I’m going to skip the police escort and just take a taxi!

    [...] The great and very compelling part of this survey was that thanks to the honesty of the taxi drivers, globally 80% of passengers had their mobile phones returned to them and an amazing 96% of PDAs and laptops also made their way back to their owners. This week, taxi drivers definitely took the lead in demonstrating honesty. http://honestyblog.com/2007/01/30/taxi-drivers-take-the-lead-in-honesty-honesty-story-7/ [...]

    Allison, these stories are definitely very favorably for taxi drivers. I am glad to hear you got your sunglasses back. I knew a lot of people lose sunglasses, but I wasn’t aware until I wrote Honesty Story # 4 that millions of sunglasses are lost each year. You can see some pretty crazy statistics I posted here http://honestyblog.com/2007/01/25/lost-oakley-sunglasses-honesty-story-4/

    I’m so glad to have found this websight because of my heavy heart over losing a special “toy”. My DVD/MP3 player and carrier was lost just a week or so ago and all I could think about was wishing there was a place on the internet to track lost and found items from honest people that may want to report what they have found. So glad you’ve started this service and pray that you will find continued success.

    iI recommend lifelock.com which i had bad experiences with or http://www.walletnanny.com (which is set to launch soon i believe). Those are the only two websites to protect again wallet theft or loss though they have 2 different approaches toward the same problem.

    Your suspicions are probably correct, but I greatly admire your character. I’ve personally lost things (misplaced briefly) without the benefit of a decent human fessing up to having found the items. On later reflection, I can often call up activity that was in the periphery at the time and mentally identify the exact moment some stranger “found” the item and promptly walked off (a multitool, a baseball, a baseball glove, my wallet). Even when the opportunity to confront them presents itself, I’ve found myself facing blatant denial.

    The point isn’t that somebody probably robbed you of your good fortune and turned it into their own… the point is that you showed great character and are deserving of admiration. Five years from now, look back and ask how much of a difference that $100 would have made in your life and contrast that with how much a lifetime of personal integrity has been worth.

    Good for you, Chase!

    I think your business is a brilliant idea. I’m going to tell my friends about this one. I just wrote about the fact that honesty is a brutal leadership principal . Check it out if you’re interested.

  • 20. honestyadmin  |  January 20th, 2009 at 11:04 pm

    Paul,

    Thank you for the kind words. I took a look at your blog and enjoyed reading through the post on honesty. The challenge for your readers is a great idea. It is amazing how many times each day we are faced with decisions both small and large that challenge our honesty. It is true that how we respond to those challenges impacts our leadership abilities.

    Keep of the good work with your blog. If you or your friend have stories about honesty and good deeds, please share them with us.

    Regards,
    Joël Nùñez

    Thank you for this blog! I recently created a Squidoo lens about this very topic. You might be interested in checking it out. We’ve begun a discussion about Shakespeare’s quote: “This above all, to thine own self be true,” and how it fits into the “honesty is the best policy” quote.

    I believe honesty takes courage, but it is character-building!

    Abe lincoln was involved in the abolishment of slavery, yet he did not ewlease his own personal slaves. Hmmm. What do you have to say to that?Not very honest to me.

  • 24. Truth  |  April 29th, 2009 at 12:31 pm

    Too bad this company is full of crap (Good Deed, not Cabot).

    Hi, Andrew. This IS a great story. Got drama. Its just like a movie. I felt like watching Jackie Brown by Tarantino. So, you have great luck, go find you dreamed business and take a vacation with your family.

    The emancipation proclamation didn’t free any slaves. It was an empty command given during the Civil War that was made to give the war a moral edge. Slaves were indeed freed but not until after the war.

  • 28. sami  |  November 16th, 2009 at 3:58 am

    he was such a great person i cant believe they killed him

    i hope the people that didnt like him and tried to kill him feel bad or at least have a miserable life and feel ashamed of themselves even if they are dead

    I’ve lost 3 more since this time, 1 made it back via the ImHonest sticker. It works!

    A Stradivarius violin is priceless – but it still sounds like cats on a hot griddle to me. Actually, these violins are mentioned frequently in TV mystery shows. And cabbies are honest people too!!!!

    I lost my engagement ring and diamond wedding band over 2 years ago and I’m still hopeful that one day they will turn up. Stories like this are so wonderful.

    There are many ways to measure wealth and this story illustrates a wealthy and generous exchange between two persons. One hundred dollars may or may not be a big sum of money, but its heartwarming and fascinating for me to contemplate why one person helps another.
