Con man takes cab ride without paying, then takes $50 from cabby
SINGAPORE : A passenger not only failed to pay a cab driver his fare, he also managed to con another S$50 from the driver.
Taxi driver Ang Thiam Keng picked up the male passenger, who was carrying several boxes, along Jurong East Avenue 1 at noon on Wednesday.
After giving several confusing instructions, Ang was told to stop at Block 258 along Jurong East Street 24.
The con man then ran off without the boxes. But he returned two minutes later, asking for change for S$50.
A confused Ang then handed over five $10 notes and waited for him to come back again to collect the boxes.
But the man ran up the block and never returned.
Ang described the passenger to be between 25 and 30 years old.
The police were not able to find any fingerprints on the cab. Ang had thrown away the boxes before reporting the case to the police. — CNA /ls -

Like, a bit wierd right?
If someone asks for a change of 50,
Won't the person hand you a 50 dollar note, then you give the 5 10 dollar notes. Why the taxi driver just give like that?
& Worse, he threw away the boxes, for what?!
