“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.”

Ed. Note: As the current point person, de facto, for metro’s lost and found items – I most welcome this updated policy!!
From WMATA:
“Left something on Metro and need to get it back? If it ends up at Metro’s lost and found, you may be in luck. Metro will now keep a wider list of lost items left behind on trains, buses, at stations, and other Metro facilities.
The new policy, updates changes made due to pandemic-related budget constraints in 2021 that restricted Metro’s lost and found storage to wallets and electronics such as phones, tablets, laptops, and cameras only.
In addition to these items, Metro’s lost and found department will now work to also reunite customers with lost keys, glasses, backpacks, headphones, luggage, and purses. Read More
