TLDR: blue workwear jacket that says “Chuck” (photo in comments) taken from Linda’s, trying to get it back On Friday night I was meeting friends at Linda’s Tavern on Capitol Hill. I wore my favorite jacket: a blue workwear jacket with a name tag that says “Chuck” from “Trailer Sales” that I bought decades ago at a flea market when I was 9 years old. This jacket is the one possession I’ve kept with me since childhood—I lost pretty much everything else in a hurricane that destroyed my family’s home years ago. I was on the back patio around ~11:30pm last night (Friday, April 10th) when I set my jacket down on the ground near our picnic table after noticing friends at another table and going to say hello. While my back was turned, a guy from the table behind us (green jacket guy with a ponytail) gets up, takes my jacket from where I’d set it, shows it off to his friends, laughs at it, and then proceeds to take it with him as he and his friends exited the bar. This has had me sadder than I imagined I could be about a jacket, it’s really the only nostalgic thing I own and I’ve been wearing it everywhere I go for over 20 years. Per rule 9 of this sub I am apparently NOT allowed to ask for help identifying the person who accidentally took this jacket.. however I am really hoping this can reach back to the friend group seen here to know how much this jacket means to me. You can bring the jacket back to the Linda’s lost & found and they’ll get it back to me! Also huge thanks to the folks at Linda’s who provided the security footage and have been so helpful so far! I’ve always had so much love for Linda’s and appreciate them even more now, please support them! submitted by /u/addisonh11 |
