Cabbie Robbed While Saving Life

Adrian Davies, a taxi driver in Hastings, Australia, lost about $300AU when he left his cab to save an unconscious man from a burning car.

Mr. Davies was on duty when he spotted the car, which had ricocheted off a signpost, slammed into a tree and then flipped over. The driver, who had been knocked unconscious, was hanging upside-down, suspended by his seatbelt. Mr. Davies and two other men rushed to assist him, cutting the seatbelt away and dragging the victim out of the wreckage just before the car exploded. Meanwhile, the thief apparently rushed to help him (or her) self to Mr. Davies' money.

Mr. Davies is obviously upset about the loss of his cash, but it's clear he wouldn't have traded another man's life for it. "My parents brought me up that way, to help out each other," he said.
