Called Sioux Falls non-emergency number for a found Wallet on the side of the road at 5:34pm. They asked me where I would like to meet an officer. I said a place in Sioux falls. They said it could be up to 2 hours (okay I get it they're busy it's something small) I waited in the agreed upon spot.. 2 hours comes around. I figure, "theres cops all over downtown let's go to them." Head towards downtown. See a cop on the way, pull next to them at a red light. They roll the window down. I ask them if they can take it. Nope. They tell me to call back. I call back. Dispatcher:"We can come pick it up from your addres at a later time", me:" I live in tea" dispatcher: "oh I will make a note of that. Is there anywhere you could put it and tell us so we can pick it up later" um? No? What are we playing hide and seek? Finally just tell them I'm just going to set it outside of the police station front desk. That road is currently closed to through traffic and it is 8pm so I can't park on the street. Had to park 3 blocks away in a free parking, parking lot. And walk there all to be a good citizen. See about 4 cops on my way to the building and back to my car. Good job City of Sioux Falls. Edit: A drop box for found property would be a good idea in Sioux falls, I've seen multiple calls on the SFPD call log for found property.
