What if...
her company owned them, they were insured, would not cover a reward but would happily sack her for losing them....
she's not so much a jeweller as a jeweller's gofer who's cab fare but not tips and certainly not rewards are paid for and who's salary is not registering on the astonishing scale
It could be that the tip was all she had, or perhaps the driver was unpleasnat on the ride. It could be that the reward is coming out of her own pocket and she isn't loaded, or it's the maximum her company would pay. Who knows? Why judge?
All one can really get from this story is that the cabbie is honest. And attention-seeking. I doubt very much the jewellers instigated the press coverage on this.
