Ok, so the cabbie (or anybody) is *entitled* to a "respectable" reward.
My bad.
I don't know what I was thinking.
Interesting concept, being insulted by gesture of gratitude, and that a grander monetary gesture would be *less* insulting.
As has been mentioned in other threads, some cultures find any tipping insulting. Whether or not that should be the case in the US, I'd like to think returning found property of any nature wouldn't engender a tip for doing the right, honorable thing.
Of course, with honor and integrity so often demanding a price, I can see how it's easy to be jaded.
