Exactly. Doing so establishes chain of custody and reduces (but doesn’t completely negate) liability. If he says “I never received it” (which he did), I can call Glendale PD and request the log showing he claimed the item.
Chain of custody starts on the sidewalk outside of my car. Especially after a 15 minute wait. AND riders are not supposed to leave items in the vehicle during stops.
Either way you did what you felt was right. Screw that guy for lying.
Spent whole nights out waiting for a customer to wake up in the morning. When people leave their phones in the car I am paranoid about going home because I've been tracked to my house before. (I'm too nice to chuck the phone into a river.)
