Returned Jewels a Message from God?
Canadian diamond merchant Thierry Delisha took a cab to New York City's LaGuardia airport. When he unloaded his bags, he accidentally left behind a satchel. Inside the satchel was a fortune in jewelry. By the time Delisha realized his mistake, he also discovered he had no receipt, and no way to find the cab driver.
Besides the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewels, Delisha also left behind something else. The cab driver found Delisha's business card in the rear seat. The driver, Hossam Abdala, an Egyptian immigrant, immediately located Delisha and returned the jewels.
Said Delisha, "I'm Jewish and he's a Muslim, so there must be a message from God in this."
