I lost my emerald-green Tadashi Shoji gown yesterday around 3pm near the White House on Pennsylvania Ave NW, just outside the north gates after a charity gala. It's a floor-length satin dress with a graceful silhouette, a sweetheart neckline, and a subtle train. The waist features a silver rhinestone belt that catches the light. It is labeled US size 6 and is in good condition, with a tiny snag along the inner lining near the hem. This gown was a gift from my grandmother and holds real sentimental value—I really need it back, as the event was important to me and I’m hoping someone picked it up by mistake.
I lost my red Fender Stratocaster yesterday around 3pm outside the Dupont Circle Metro station on 19th Street NW. It's a bright red finish with a white pickguard and a maple neck. It's in a black padded gig bag with a red zipper, and the headstock sports a blue star sticker. There's a small dent on the lower bout from a bump last week. Inside the case are a black strap with red stitching and a few picks taped to the inside lid. This guitar is sentimental—it was a gift from my late aunt who taught me chords, and I really need it back!
I lost my black Anker USB-C hub yesterday around 3pm outside the Union Station Metro entrance in Washington DC. It's a matte black aluminum hub, about 3 inches long, with four ports and a built-in HDMI. On the top there are two stickers—a blue star and a red heart. There's a small dent on the top edge, and the cable is looped around it when I last had it. This is my main travel hub for work and school, so I’d really appreciate getting it back. If someone found it, a reply here or leaving it at the Union Station Lost & Found would be amazing.
Tory Burch black and white sunglasses in a black Maui Jim case. Lost on Dec 11 2025 - probably on 11th St NW, Pennsylvania Ave NW or 4th St SW.
I lost my framed watercolor landscape yesterday around 3pm near the Dupont Circle metro entrance, on the sidewalk by the fountain. It's about 8x10 inches, in a gold leaf frame with a tiny dent on the bottom-right corner; the painting shows a soft blue sky, pink sunset, and rolling hills. The back has a sticker from a small local gallery named Emerald Lane Art, and there's a faint pencil inscription M. Rivera 2018 along the border. It was a gift from my grandmother and holds sentimental value; I would be crushed to lose it. If anyone found it, please reach out; I can share a photo and describe exact details.
I found a bright green budgie this afternoon around 3:15pm perched on the railing outside the National Museum of Natural History on the National Mall. It has a blue tail, an orange beak, and a small blue leg band marked 12A. The feathers are glossy, no visible injuries, and it seemed friendly enough to a gentle touch. It chirped happily when I called, and it hopped onto my finger after I offered a seed. It looks like someone’s beloved pet, not a wild bird, so I’d love to get it back to its owner—message me here to arrange a pickup near the museum entrance.
I found a light gray queen sheet set with navy piping on a bench outside the Dupont Circle Metro entrance this afternoon around 3:15pm. The set includes a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and two standard pillowcases; they're clean and neatly folded. The fabric feels soft and breathable, and the tag reads Haven Home. There's a small monogram AM embroidered in dark blue on one pillowcase corner, plus a tiny coffee stain on the flat sheet edge. If this belongs to you, drop me a note with the monogram and Haven Home tag so we can get it back to you.
I found a stunning hand-painted ceramic vase in a blue and white floral design while walking near the National Mall in Washington DC yesterday. It looks quite valuable and is in perfect condition, so I hope to find its owner. There’s no identifying mark on it, but it was resting on a bench. Please reach out if you think it's yours!
I found a pair of black wireless noise-canceling headphones at the Java Joe café in downtown Washington DC while I was working on my laptop on Monday afternoon. They were in perfect condition and came with a charging case. I think someone must have forgotten them because they were just sitting on the table after someone had left. If you can describe them to me, I’d be happy to return them.
I found a small black case for wireless headphones near the National Mall in Washington DC. It was sitting against a bench while I was taking a stroll. I opened it up, but there are no headphones inside. Would love to return it to its owner, so please reach out if it's yours!
