“Dear PoPville,
Last night, I found a pink iPhone near 3rd St NE and R St NE in my alley. After reaching out to the Eckington listserve to find it’s owner, I was informed that there was a mugging on the Metropolitan Branch Trial around 11:30 a.m. yesterday, July 13, 2015, and the only things that were stolen was an iPhone and $50 (and probably the victim’s general faith in mankind).
Information on the mugging (with pictures of the assailants) can be found here.
I can only imagine the state of shock the victim must be in, and I would like to get her phone back to her ASAP. Can you help?
Interested folks can e-mail me at [email protected] and simply tell me what kind of sticker is on the back of the iPhone.
If I don’t hear anything back today, I’ll send the iPhone to the police — where it will likely fall into a evidence-holding cosmic black hole.”
