Aiya Tulemaganbetova (EYE’-uh too-leh-mah-gan-beh-TOH’-vah) met with Richard Taverna on Thursday.
He found her Chanel bag, including an envelope filled with $100 bills, on a subway bench near Lincoln Center on Dec. 20. The retired financial consultant took it to police.
She’d filed a police report before heading to Kazakhstan. She was planning to use part of the money to buy Christmas gifts.
When they met, she presented Taverna with a statue, a hug and a donation in his name to a charity.
Taverna says there was “never any question” about doing the right thing.
Cheapskate POS what she is….a statue? Why didn’t she give him some money?! A donation in his name? What, $10?..
An innovative way to get rid of unwanted ugly presents.
Of course if a policeman had found it, he could have impounded the money.
she gave $1,000 to a charity of HIS choice, in HIS name.
