Found two canines in Washington DC near Union Station

I found these two canines wandering near Union Station in Washington DC around 9:30 pm last night. They’re a friendly pair, one brown with white paws and a second black with a small white chest patch. Both wore collars but no visible IDs. I’ve kept them safe in a quiet hallway for now, giving them water and some scraps while I post this. They’re clearly well-socialized and calm, but I know someone must be frantic about them. If you recognize these dogs, please reply through the site so we can coordinate a reunion near Union Station.

Found pendants near Dupont Circle, DC

I’m Priya Shah. While walking through Dupont Circle on a sunny Sunday around 1:45 PM, I spotted a small velvet pouch on a bench near the Dupont Circle fountain. Inside were several pendants—one with an initial 'M' in cursive, another a tiny compass, and a leaf-shaped charm on a delicate chain. They looked recently worn, not like costume jewelry. I picked them up and kept them safe, hoping to reconnect them with whoever owns them. I hope whoever misplaced these finds them here so the owner can be reunited with their keepsakes.

Lost microwaves near Union Station

I was helping a friend move apartments in Washington DC, and around 12:30 PM on Friday I realized my two microwaves weren't in the moving cart. I last saw them near the Union Station Market entrance, where I set a couple of boxes down while I talked with the building manager. They are white countertop microwaves, about 1.5 cubic feet each, with one dented corner. The morning bustle and coffee smells linger in my memory, and it hurts to think someone might have mistaken them for trash. I hope whoever found them kept them safe.
