“Dear PoPville,

My girlfriend and I found an engagement ring on the evening of 5 June 2026 at the intersection of 11th Street NE and H Street NE. Could you please ask the PoPville community to spread the word? IF someone could describe the ring and if it belongs to them we’ll find a way to get it back to them.”
