Description
I lost my red Moleskine notebook, a pocket-sized hardcover, with a skyline sticker on the front and a blue ribbon bookmark peeking out; the spine has a little gold embossing. I last had it yesterday around 3pm, sitting on a bench near the National Archives Museum on Constitution Ave NW, just off 7th Street NW, before I ducked inside to grab a map. It holds my DC trip notes and a few sketches; it's very sentimental to me. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back—drop it at Union Station Lost & Found or reply to this listing here.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
