Found pendants near Dupont Circle, DC

I’m Priya Shah. While walking through Dupont Circle on a sunny Sunday around 1:45 PM, I spotted a small velvet pouch on a bench near the Dupont Circle fountain. Inside were several pendants—one with an initial 'M' in cursive, another a tiny compass, and a leaf-shaped charm on a delicate chain. They looked recently worn, not like costume jewelry. I picked them up and kept them safe, hoping to reconnect them with whoever owns them. I hope whoever misplaced these finds them here so the owner can be reunited with their keepsakes.

Lost microwaves near Union Station

I was helping a friend move apartments in Washington DC, and around 12:30 PM on Friday I realized my two microwaves weren't in the moving cart. I last saw them near the Union Station Market entrance, where I set a couple of boxes down while I talked with the building manager. They are white countertop microwaves, about 1.5 cubic feet each, with one dented corner. The morning bustle and coffee smells linger in my memory, and it hurts to think someone might have mistaken them for trash. I hope whoever found them kept them safe.

Found Bus Tickets in DC

I found these bus tickets today around 9:20 a.m. on the sidewalk outside Union Station’s main entrance, along 2nd Street NW. They’re a little crumpled and stained from someone’s coffee, with a route and a couple of scribbled notes that tell a small, hopeful story. I paused, considered handing them to lost-and-found, but figured someone else might be looking for them more than I might be. If these belong to you, please reach out through the site.

Lost stamps near Union Station, DC

I was near Union Station in Washington DC around 11:00 a.m. this Tuesday when I realized a leather-bound stamp album was missing from my bag. The album holds family stamps from the early 1900s, along with a few creased envelopes and a brass clasp. This collection is irreplaceable to me—passed down from my grandmother—and I’ve carried it everywhere for years. I’m hoping someone who found it kept it safe and will see this post so I can reclaim it, ideally near the Smithsonian metro entrance as a hint.
