Blue baseball hat with Lincoln signature
I lost a baseball hat near the Lockkeeper's House on April 17, 2026. It is blue, has an eagle with ribbons, says "One Country, One Destiny". Has Lincoln's signature on the bill.
Cream-colored dwarf hamster with ginger patch
I lost my cream-colored dwarf hamster yesterday around 3pm. It's about 2 inches long, with soft cream fur and a small caramel patch along its back. It wears a tiny blue harness with a silver bell and a light tan heart-shaped patch on its belly. Last seen near the Dupont Circle metro outside the CVS on 19th Street NW, and it may slip into any crack or bin. This little guy is a gift and means a lot to me—if you spot him, message me and we can arrange a meetup.
Light green floral scarf lost near L'Enfant Plaza
A light green scarf with some floral patterns, not super wide and probably around 4-5 ft long. Its a thin material, lost somewhere around lenfant plaza SW
Red North Face parka with fox pin
I lost my red North Face parka, knee-length, size M, with a gray faux fur hood yesterday around 3pm—it's a seasonal DC winter essential. It was outside the Dupont Circle Starbucks on Connecticut Ave NW, right by the bus stop near the green line entrance. It has a small coffee stain on the left chest and a fox-shaped enamel pin above the zipper. Inside the lining I sewed my initials 'P.P.' because it's sentimental—the coat was a gift from my sister two winters ago. I'm really hoping to find it; it was the only warm coat I had for the chilly DC days, and I feel stranded without it.
Lost black fanny pack with purple wallet and keys
Lost black fanny pack/small purse. Brand: REI (REI Co-op). Contains purple wallet, keys, etc. Leaving the area in a couple weeks, urgent. I definitely had it in the Building Museum. Walked to American History Museum (past law enforcement memorial and post office pavilion), then from American History to Union Station. Realized I lost it while on the train.
Found GoPro HERO11 Black action camera
I found a GoPro HERO11 Black action camera this afternoon around 3:00 PM outside the Dupont Circle Metro entrance on Massachusetts Ave NW. It's in a gray protective case with a red GoPro sticker on the lid and a blue silicone sleeve around the body. The bottom corner has a small dent, and there's a yellow tape with the initials 'MK' stuck on the side. The touchscreen boots up and shows some vacation clips, so I figured someone might have dropped it during a stroll around the circle. I'm hoping to get it back to its owner; if it's yours, check for these features and drop me a note with the identifying details.
DeWalt 20V drill kit found near Union Station
I found a DeWalt 20V MAX XR cordless drill kit this afternoon around 3:15 PM in the Union Station Parking Garage on Massachusetts Ave NE, near the Amtrak entrance. It's tucked inside a yellow-and-black hard case with a slightly dented battery pack and a small blue sticker on the lid with the initials 'JK'. Inside there are two batteries and a compact bit set. I grabbed it thinking someone might be missing it, so I'm keeping it safe and hoping to reunite it with its owner soon; the case shows signs of light wear but the tools work fine. If you recognize it, holler back here or email [email protected] and we'll arrange a handoff.
Found keys on blue lanyard near Union Station
I found a set of keys this morning around 7:50am on the ground outside Union Station's main entrance, along Massachusetts Ave NE in Washington DC. The bundle is on a bright blue nylon lanyard with a small metal carabiner and a tiny flashlight keychain. There are a few keys: one is a dented Yale house key, another is a Toyota car key with a red plastic cover, plus a little black USB drive and a red rubber tag that says 'HOME.' The lanyard looks a bit worn but everything else is in decent shape. If this sounds like yours, I’d love to get them back—meet at Union Station or reply here with a matching detail.
Keys on blue lanyard with penguin charm
Found a set of keys this morning around 7:15am outside the Dupont Circle metro entrance on 19th St NW, Washington DC. They’re on a bright blue nylon lanyard with two brass house keys, a Honda car key with a chipped plastic head, and a small black rubber tag that has an enamel penguin charm. There’s also a tiny copper bottle opener keychain and a faint cat-printed sticker on one key. I’m posting because I know these probably belong to someone who needs them back, and I’d hate for them to be lost again.
Blue hardcover mystery novel found near Union Station
I found a blue hardcover mystery novel this afternoon around 2:15pm outside the Union Station main entrance on Massachusetts Ave NE, Washington DC. The cover is bright blue with a gold embossed title—'The Silent Lodge'—and the spine has a few light scratches. Inside, there's a dog-eared page at 142, a purple ribbon bookmark sticking out, and a Capitol Hill Public Library stamp on the inside cover with a small pencil note that says 'For Maria.' I'm glad to help get it back to its owner; if this sounds like yours, message me and we can arrange pickup near Union Station.
