May 14, 2018/ Jackie Echavarria

It seems that several Petworth residents have lost a ton of items at Safeway. In fact, there are so many unrecovered items in the lost and found drawer at Safeway located at Georgia and Randolph Streets that some get tossed into the garbage. There's keys, cell phones, credit cards, IDs and more.

Tuesday night I had to pick up some medicine for my daughter so went to the local Georgia Avenue Safeway. Walking into the store from the underground parking lot, I see a stuffed rabbit doll sitting on the top of a trash can, looking rather forlorn. It looked sad sitting there, head down. It also looked really loved.
