A two-carat diamond has been found nearly two years after a man nabbed it from a jewelry store. The catch: the colorless stone which is estimated to be worth $25,000 has been found stuck in the shower drain at the same prison where the man accused of stealing it was serving his sentence. Bret Allen Langford, 39, was arrested in April 2005 for stealing the diamond at a Jewelry Express store. The diamond had never been recovered, until this week, when an investigator representing Langford told jail officials to search the jailhouse drains.

They may be less at pocket, but U. S. cabbies are no less when it comes to honesty. A Washington taxi driver returned a lost wallet, stuffed with nearly $6,000, to its owner after it presumably slipped from his hand while rushing to the airport. The incident comes just two days after a New York City taxi driver returned a bag carrying 31 diamond rings to the passenger who had mistakenly forgot it in his cab. Vinod Mago, 55, told the AP that he never even thought of keeping the money. He said, "If you're an honest person, you will always have money in your pocket. "
