“Dear PoPville,
To whoever returned my phone to the Zoo lost and found Sunday September 18th. If you can prove it was you, I would love to buy you a drink! Thank you so much for your kindness! You received a round of applause from our large group celebrating my MIL’s birthday. You definitely saved me hours of work getting my stuff together.”
If this was you please email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP for your drink!
“Dear PoPville,
So today (Sunday) I was at the Cracked Eggery with my two grandchildren. After I ordered lunch for them, I checked my purse, my pockets, started ransacking my bag, but could not find my credit card. And they would not take cash. I went through my stuff probably three times, when one of the staff said someone had paid for us. He pointed to the woman, who was incredibly lovely, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

“Dear PoPville,
I went out for a walk on Wednesday 8/31 and dropped my wallet (a red cardholder) without noticing. As I was returning to my apartment building, the front desk called to say that a kind woman (who was out walking her dog) found it on the sidewalk in Kalorama and (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My wife’s car was parked on R near 16th, and we found this note on the windshield, nicely wrapped in a plastic bag on a rainy day. And the car in front of us had Maryland plates too!”

“Dear PoPville,
Can you help me find this Good Samaritan? I lost my keys Saturday and spent at least 30 minutes desperately stressing out: retracing my steps over and over, crawling in the grass wherever I could have dropped them, coming up with any and every contingency plans i could. Truly devastated and frustrated at myself for this oversight. And then, I look into my car (which was mercifully still placed where I parked it a few hours prior). There, on the passenger seat, is a doggy bag with my keys inside. I can’t tell you how much my mind is blown and my heart warmed by this astounding act of thoughtfulness and kindness. I would love thank this amazingly thoughtful and kind stranger for this blessing!”

My car happened to be parked on 19th and Wyoming. As I headed back home I noticed a piece of paper under one of my windshield wipers. (more…)
