I've some sad news to post.

Last Thursday, I took my 007 to work, and carried it in my front trouser (I think you call them pants over the other side of the pond). It was a very long day, and I was tired at the end of the day. I arrived home, and my Spy 007 was no longer with me. :shakehead

I have traced back through the day, and put up a "lost" poster at work. Nothing. :thumbsdow

I doubt the finder will know about CPF, but if it does by any chance surface, the serial is 206.

David :(

Oh Lordy, sorry to hear! I'd be down and out about that...:sigh: Hopefully it'll turn up though....have you offered a reward for it? If not it might be a good idea though you may not want to reward the finder TOO much for fear they might guess the value....again, sorry. Tough to lose any nice light let alone this one...

On the asphalt.
And David - I'm with you on the carrying... if I'm lucky enough to score a 007, it's riding in my pocket - no lanyard, no clip, no holster.

Griff - amazing gesture! :thumbsup:

Thank you for the kind words guys.

Yes, I offered a reward and phrased it for "sentimental value".

Although I work in the airline industry, and our Aircraft Engineers will know Ti when they see it. One even joked "if we find it we will be using the titanium to repair the aircraft with!"



David, Sorry to hear the BAD news!

That is an awesome gesture, and I am very humbled, but I could never accept. :rock:

No I didn't. I really really wish I had. :sigh:

I have a Matt A-O-H holster for my belt, but I was carrying it in the cow hide leather pouch which isn't designed for belt carry.

That's what I do with my most valuable lights.



I'm sure you're like this about now: :mecry:

Hope it's found quickly.

Yes, I am :mecry:

It was lost on Thursday, and nothing so far....

That's very generous of you :faint:
But if I were him, I think I could not accept either. It's just too much for a single person to offer this!

Instead of you making that crazy offer alone, I would suggest that we collectively give a little something to pay a replacement to dmdrewitt. If every one around here gives $10 if you cross the 95 people count the cost is totally covered. Everyone considering purchasing a SPY007 have enough money to help someone out with 10 bucks... IMO at least. After all this can happen to any of us, anytime.

What do you guys think?

I would be the first to shoot $10 to help our poor buddy find a SPY back

PLEASE, PLEASE do not collect for me.:candle:

I have contributed myself when this has been needed, but in the nicest possible way, the $ is not the issue. :bow: I really couldn't accept from anyone.

CPF is an awesome place, and the offers that people will do to help each other is enough for me. :thumbsup:

I just needed to let people know the spy has gone, but I genuinely will learn from this experience :banghead: and would not like people to collect for me.

Thank you very much.. this is an awesome place :buddies:

David :thumbsup:

Hope you find it soon.

At the very least, I'll try to post on your behalf on the next 007 sales thread if you are not able to.

Yeah, have a lanyard hole punched into the cowhide sleeve and have it tethered to a belt loop, most discreet way of secured pocket carry I can think of, unless the belt loop breaks.
