“HELP!!!! HELP!!!! HELP!!!! I am a 20 year retired veteran and a triple organ transplant recipient (a liver and 2 kidneys). While I was parked and removing items from the back area of my moving truck parked at the corner of Georgia Avenue, NW, and Harvard Street, NW, someone went into the passenger cab of the my vehicle, an Isuzu Box Truck, and stole a BLACK BACK PACK AND A SAMSUNG 6 CELL PHONE. ** REWARD** This happened in a matter of 10 seconds. The back pack contained EVERYTHING that is important to me, including my Organ Transplant medication, pain medication, a book that I am writing about my transplant experiences over the last two years (the name of the book is FINDING MY MIND), folders with Dr. Apple emblems on the front, keys to everything I own, critical medical information needed, family photos that cannot be replaced, and a host of other very important items. Although these items are not important for anyone else, they are a part of my life. My hope is that someone will take the valuables and discard the back pack as trash. If found, I beg of you, please call 202-680-4551. There is a REWARD for the return of the back pack and/or the cell phone. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. ***REWARD***

My cell phone contained pictures from my transplants, pictures of my father who has passed on, and a host of other things that can never be replaced and is not useful to anyone else but me.

If you have any information pertaining to this theft and it leads to the arrest and conviction of the thief, a larger reward will be given. This is separate of the*** REWARD*** above.

I do know one thing, the devil still creates people who don’t realize, nor do they care about how their actions affects other people lives. GOD loves you, too. And we are going to pray for all of you!!!!!
***REWARD***REWARD***REWARD***REWARD***REWARD***REWARD***REWARD

Thank you for any help you can give me.

“I found this in a tree lawn in Logan. The jewelry was scattered about, so I’m guessing someone’s purse was stolen last [Saturday] night and these were discarded. I’ve collected the jewelry up…Would love to return it to the owner – I’m sure they had a bad night.”

Your luck is about to change – a reader found it.

It was found “on 1st Street SE right outside of the Capitol South Metro entrance today (12:45pm November 25th). I’d like to reunite the ring with its owner if possible! Its a very unique ring so if someone can give me an accurate description I’ll get it back to them.”

“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.”

“Dear PoPville,

Two weeks ago I lost my phone. While picking my 10 month old daughter up from daycare, I put my phone on the roof of my car to place her in her car seat. I didn’t realize that I had left it there and that it had flown off until I got home and I’m crushed.

If it was just my phone, it wouldn’t matter that much to me but all of the pictures and video (Thanksgiving, Christmas, her crawling) that I’ve taken of my daughter, from November to now – 7 seven months of her life – were on that phone and they were not backed up. Shame on me for that, I know. I’m hoping that one of your readers can help me locate the phone.

For the days after I lost it, it couldn’t be located. I’m thinking the battery died. This week it was located in two different places:
5157 Fort Totten St. NE, earlier this week and
1060 Quebec Pl NW, today.

The phone is an iPhone 6. It has a case on it. The case is a picture of my daughter in a pile of leaves.

Please, if someone has found this phone, please return it. Your gesture will be rewarded.

I can be reached at [email protected]

Thanks so much,
Mary Lou aka Mom who lost her phone”
