“Dear PoPville,
Yesterday (Wednesday) when I got on the metro, I found pocketbook / wallet left on a seat. I asked those on the car if it was theirs or they saw whose it was, but no one did. Inside were a few pre-paid credit cards, a some cash, and a national identity card for a South American country. Since her name was there, I looked online to try to find her, and do think I found a Facebook page and LinkedIn page for her. I sent her messages on both platforms last night, but haven’t heard back. Today, I called and emailed the DC location of the embassy her identity card is from, thinking that with the card they might be able to reach her, but haven’t heard back from them, either.
I’m wondering if anyone has advice on how else I might find her? I could hand the wallet and the cards (and cash) over to the Metro lost and found crew, but from what I can tell online, it looks like Metro’s lost and found is way out at the end of a line rather than near a central station (closer to where I found it). I’m also concerned it could disappear while in transit to Metro’s Lost and Found station, or take a long time to get logged in or otherwise just not be a great way for her to get it back in a timely manner. Thanks for sharing your advice / experience with this kind of thing!”
