If the shoe was on the other foot, Rustem Kassymkhan believes he’d do right by at least one Boston cabbie.

The 18-year-old freshman at Northeastern University, where he’s studying economics, learned a hard lesson in finance Saturday afternoon when a taxi he was taking home from the Shops at Prudential Center inadvertently took off with a $400 pair of size 9 black Gucci shoes, and a $410 brown Gucci satchel he’d just purchased.

Anyone remember the good ol' days when Northeastern's mission was to educate middle class and working class kids at an affordable price?

Another fine piece of investigative journalism by the Boston Herald. Those dolts on Morrissey Blvd. could learn a thing or two by reviewing this work.

Sadly, this kid probably considers this to be genuine "hardship." Silver Spooners like this have no clue.

$410 for a backpack???? What a waste of money!
Gucci shades, maybe. But for a BACKPACK??!!
And how in the world does an 18 yr old afford that?! Sorry, I don't have pity for him. His own stupidity for 1-spending that much money on those things, and for 2-forgetting to take it out of the cab with him!!

Bruno was right about the people of his country! This idiot better not be on in state tuition or free grants. His major is economics, go figure.

You'd swear it's a sin to have money the way all of you jerks are commenting.The cabbie was probably one of the foreign undesirables you liberal idiots bend over backwards for.
