One that receives items for temporary safekeeping or for shipment: a baggage checker. 2. Cabs contained a number of serious factual errors. The article stated that hundreds of Checker Cabs have been crisscrossing the city for six months without insurance. That statement is wrong. Checker Cabs was insured for that period.

But after the Daily News began asking questions about the situation,insurance broker Michael James of Michael E. James Insurance Agency of Alpine, Calif., provided valid proof of insurance for Checker from Century Surety. The article further stated incorrectly that there was an alleged scam (SCSI Configured AutoMatically) A subset of Plug and Play that allows SCSI IDs to be changed by software rather than by flipping switches or changing jumpers.

Also, no claims by riders were affected since Checker was insured so no riders will be left scrambling for a resolution of their claims. Furthermore, efforts to reach Michael James prior to publication of the article were inadequate since only one message was left. The Daily News regrets the errors and retracts the statements as outlined and any implication of wrongdoing wrong·do·er n. One who does wrong, especially morally or ethically. wrong  do .
