UPDATE:
Turns out the suitcase was filled with clean, folded clothing... way to make a buck officers.

EARLIER:
Early this morning a Federal agent out for coffee noticed a suspicious package left on the sidewalk near Starbucks in Downtown San Francisco on Market Street at Battery Street close to the Financial Dist. Reports say that he thought it better to call in the SFPD instead of disturbing the package which has been described as a suitcase on wheels, something most travelers do carry and sometimes do forget and leave behind... say in front of a, I don't know, Starbucks maybe!? Come on, it shouldn't take 7hours to see if there is a bomb or just some underwear in the luggage. I mean who really wants to blow up a coffee shop in the City? The Giants got on a plane this morning so ruining the World Series is not a factor, but may be one in why they are treating this as careful as they are. That's fine, but you cops just need to get the street clear so traffic can resume. Traffic is reportedly slow and backed up along Market Street, the surrounding streets and gaining entrance to the bridge.
GOOD MORNING SAN FRANCISCO BAY!!!
