Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A Vietnamese company says it's lucky an honest man was driving the taxi cab where a forgetful employee left a bag with about $26,500 in the back seat.
Nguyen Thi Thuy Lien, human resources officer for Cuu Long Petro Gas Service Transportation JSC in Ho Chi Minh City, says the passenger left the bag in the cab last week. It had important documents as well as the money in three currencies.
The passenger called the cab company after he realized the bag was missing. The 23-year-old driver, Doan Thanh Xuan, heard the radio call and returned the bag unopened. He was given a $100 reward from the company and grateful passenger.
The average monthly income in Vietnam is about $80.
