I lost two rings in union market, a green ring with a gold band and a white ring with a gold band.
I lost my black iPad Pro 11-inch in a blue folio case yesterday around 3pm near the Lincoln Memorial, Constitution Ave NW at 23rd St NW. It's a Space Gray device with a small dent on the bottom edge and a few scratches on the screen. The back is engraved with my initials 'AH' and there's a tiny red sticker tucked inside the folio cover. It stores work files and family photos, so it has sentimental value and I really need it back. If you found it, please drop it off at the Lost & Found by the National Mall or contact me through the site.
I lost my red and black Nike running shoes yesterday around 3pm near the Lincoln Memorial on 23rd Street NW, along the National Mall. They're Nike running shoes, size 9, red with black accents, white swoosh, and the left toe has a blue scuff from a bench spill; the laces are a bit frayed. The right shoe has a small scuff on the sole. They've been my go-to pair since training for my first marathon, so they mean a lot to me. If you found them, drop me a message here—I’d really appreciate getting them back.
I lost my space gray iPad Pro 11-inch in a black Smart Folio case yesterday around 3pm. I last had it near Union Station's main hall, maybe at the Amtrak concourse or by the Metro Center entrance on 11th Street NW. The back has a small white rocket sticker and the case shows a dent along the top edge; the screen protector also has a tiny crack in the bottom-right corner. It holds work notes for a conference and some family photos, so it's more than just a gadget to me. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.
I lost my emerald-green Tadashi Shoji gown yesterday around 3pm near the White House on Pennsylvania Ave NW, just outside the north gates after a charity gala. It's a floor-length satin dress with a graceful silhouette, a sweetheart neckline, and a subtle train. The waist features a silver rhinestone belt that catches the light. It is labeled US size 6 and is in good condition, with a tiny snag along the inner lining near the hem. This gown was a gift from my grandmother and holds real sentimental value—I really need it back, as the event was important to me and I’m hoping someone picked it up by mistake.
I found a bright green budgie this afternoon around 3:15pm perched on the railing outside the National Museum of Natural History on the National Mall. It has a blue tail, an orange beak, and a small blue leg band marked 12A. The feathers are glossy, no visible injuries, and it seemed friendly enough to a gentle touch. It chirped happily when I called, and it hopped onto my finger after I offered a seed. It looks like someone’s beloved pet, not a wild bird, so I’d love to get it back to its owner—message me here to arrange a pickup near the museum entrance.
I found a light gray queen sheet set with navy piping on a bench outside the Dupont Circle Metro entrance this afternoon around 3:15pm. The set includes a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and two standard pillowcases; they're clean and neatly folded. The fabric feels soft and breathable, and the tag reads Haven Home. There's a small monogram AM embroidered in dark blue on one pillowcase corner, plus a tiny coffee stain on the flat sheet edge. If this belongs to you, drop me a note with the monogram and Haven Home tag so we can get it back to you.
I found a stunning hand-painted ceramic vase in a blue and white floral design while walking near the National Mall in Washington DC yesterday. It looks quite valuable and is in perfect condition, so I hope to find its owner. There’s no identifying mark on it, but it was resting on a bench. Please reach out if you think it's yours!
I found a pair of black wireless noise-canceling headphones at the Java Joe café in downtown Washington DC while I was working on my laptop on Monday afternoon. They were in perfect condition and came with a charging case. I think someone must have forgotten them because they were just sitting on the table after someone had left. If you can describe them to me, I’d be happy to return them.
I found a small black case for wireless headphones near the National Mall in Washington DC. It was sitting against a bench while I was taking a stroll. I opened it up, but there are no headphones inside. Would love to return it to its owner, so please reach out if it's yours!
