An honest act from an assistant conductor at Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) proved some people still have good old-fashioned values.

Jonathan Yellowday, a Queens resident working on the 6:11 p.m. train from Penn Station to Port Washington, discovered a tray of engagement rings, valued at $107,000, in a plastic bag that a customer had left behind.
