Yesterday, a man attended the police station in W'Burg & turned over a found wallet that only contained 2 pieces of ID. The man left but returned a short time later with $20 & asked that police put the money in the wallet so the owner would have a better day than how it started.

This lady was not having a good day. The battery in her chair lost its charge, and the chair stopped moving.
Luckily, Cdt Walls pushed her back to CKPS HQ, where she could charge her chair and continue on her way safely.
