When officers went to the house in Smeaton Street they found a River Island purse and a bank card which Mr Golding said had been left in the cab by a previous passenger.
Fortunately Mr Golding’s takings were safely in his cash belt when he fled the cab.
Well that's odd - the driver lost no money, but the robber took a purse and bank card that just happened to have been left by a previous passenger
Wonder where the purse and bank card were - did the robber just help himself to them, or did the driver offer them up from where he'd put them for safe-keeping?
Also odd that there was another passenger in the car at the time. Not that that means anything, just unusual circumstances.
In fact had one of them the other night, just loaded up with two female students when this male student barged in from nowhere, off his head on drink (or drugs). The females scarpered, and luckily he left without incident when I ordered him out
In fact, I thought he'd done me a favour, because it was a half-mile run, but unfortunately the driver who took the females was back behind me on the rank before I'd even got another fare. And when I eventually got a fare, don't think it was much better than the one I lost, and the other driver got one just after me. So effectively he ended up getting two fares to my one
