Miami taxi driver Aurangzeb Khan is one of America's largest men, standing 2.49 metres tall, weighing 180kg and with size 20 feet.
He is also a top bloke with admirers as far away as Australia.
Proving his heart is as big as his enormous feet, Khan has gone above and beyond in his duty as a taxi driver during his 19 years on the road and this week was honoured as South Florida's top cabbie.
His latest good deed was helping out Aussie tourist Julie Saxon, who was holidaying in Miami.
Khan drove Saxon to her hotel, she paid her fare, and they parted ways.
Later that day the gentle giant discovered Saxon had left her handbag filled with documents, credit cards and medication in the back of the cab.
The 47-year-old native of Pakistan, who once worked in circuses as "The World's Tallest Man", drove "dozens and dozens" of kilometres back to Saxon's hotel to hand back her bag.
A grateful Saxon offered Khan a reward and money for the cost of driving back to her hotel, but he declined.
"It is actions like this that restores faith in human nature, and as a regular traveller to America, it leaves me with a great feeling about travelling in your country," Saxon told the newspaper.
Khan, who struggles to squeeze into his cab and can only wear custom-made $US900 ($A1,000) shoes and $US90 ($A100) shirts, says he always attempts to return items to passengers.
In 1992 he tracked down a passenger who left $US10,000 in cash in his taxi.
"I never keep something that is not mine; I do everything I can to find the person and give them their things back," Khan said.
The Miami-Dade County Consumer Services Department honoured Khan with the Chauffeur of the Quarter prize and a $US500 cheque.
