“Dear PoPville,
My husband and I lost a treasured member of our family on the way to the Commanders-49ers game on Sunday. Jeeve is our good luck 49ers gnome. We’ve taken him to sports bars. We took him to California, including Levi’s Stadium. We We even bought him a nice bottle of rum for Christmas (hoping he would share with us.) We always made sure he could see the TV when a game was on.
Sadly, he fell out of his pack either in the Federal Center SW Metro station or on a Blue Line train to FedEx Field sometime around noon on Dec. 31.
I am offering a $50 reward for his safe return.”
If you found Jeeve please email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP.
