“Dear PoPville,
I lost a gold ring sometime Monday (4/21) or Tuesday (4/22). Possible locations are Gallery Place, Dupont Circle, and Cleveland Park metro stations, Dacha Beer Garden at 7th & Q St,, Q St. NW between 7th St. and Connecticut, and Porter St. between Connecticut and 34th St. It’s gold with a distinctive shape. It has a lot of sentimental value.”
Please send on any info to me via email at [email protected] and I’ll pass on to OP.

“Dear PoPville,
My husband and I put a bench down next to the sidewalk at 4711 4th Street for Porchfest, so folks could sit while they watched the bands, and we hadn’t yet brought it back up to the porch. (Stupid, I know.) Sometime between last night and this morning, it went missing. Probably someone assumed we were giving it away. But the iron part is a headboard that my Grandpa made for the twin bed I slept in for 18 years, and my Dad, who now has ALS and is mostly paralyzed, made it into this bench for me. It was the last thing he ever made, so it’s really important to me.”

“Dear PoPville,
I found an engagement-type ring in the dirt in front of Dance Place in Brookland earlier this month. (Around April 5th.) I have posted in the Brookland DC Facebook group and on DC reddit and have had no luck at finding the owner. The consensus seems to be it is definitely not costume jewelry. Sharing here as a last resort trying to find the owner!”

“Dear PoPville,
I lost chunky gold cable bracelet (see picture) that belonged to my grandmother on the green line of the metro on the evening of April 2 returning from work. It was approximately 630pm on the Green Line going towards greenbelt. I think it fell off around Hyattsville Crossing as I was exiting the car, but can’t be certain. I think the trains turn around and go back after they reach the end of the line so it could be anywhere on the Green (and potentially yellow) lines. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I lost my prized possession Succession water bottle outside Union Market around 4:00 p.m. on Monday. Last seen on an outdoor picnic table (more…)
A longshot but:
“Dear PoPville,
A few years ago, during an office move, (the building was at 1120 19th St NW / Dupont Circle. I was abroad and could not move my paintings and when I came back they were gone.) I lost two paintings that I got in Haiti—artworks that hold deep sentimental and cultural value to me. Despite my best efforts, their whereabouts remain unknown. I’m hopeful that the community might help recover these cherished pieces.
I am more than willing to offer a reward for any information that leads to their recovery. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I lost my engagement ring this past weekend in DC. Not only is it just a very nice piece of jewelry, it has an incredible amount of sentimental value. I’ve seen magic happen when a community bands together and I’m hoping some good soul will step forward. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I am desperately looking to see if anyone in DC can help me find my son’s bag— he lost his beloved stitch bag somewhere either on the 400 block of 11th St NE or by the Kennedy Center. He’s totally heartbroken. There was money in it (don’t care about recovering that back), but what is really most special is the actual purse and inside the plain black wallet that was a gift given to him. Is there any way you can help?”

“Dear PoPville,
On Monday August 19th, a friend met up with me at Easy Tiger Tavern in Adams Morgan to bring me my blue tote bag of French vinyls; the first of many bad decisions that evening. From there I went to Bedrock, Grand Duchess, Marx Cafe, and then dinner at Don Juan’s at around 1:30 AM. At this point, (more…)
