I got a new Thrunite TN12 (2016) NW two weeks ago. It replaced the (2014) CW version as my EDC. I've been carrying TN12 now for 1.5 years always clipped into my pocket and it rarely has fallen of without me noticing it.
Last night I went to a local bar and when the bar was closing I met some random guys that were going to drive through city center. I thought I could go see my friends there and I went into their car. I jumped out in red lights when the driver had passed the street I was going to. I think that's when the TN12 fell out of my pocket. I noticed I had lost it about 10 minutes later. I walked the same way back to the place where the red lights were, but couldn't find it. Nor was it near the local bar where we started our ride.
I don't know any of the guys and I don't know how to reach the driver. My only hope is that someone finds the flashlight and after the battery has drained empty they try to replace it and notice the paper in it containing my contact information and return the flashlight. I'm afraid there are too many if's or it may take months... Meanwhile, I'm back to EDC'ing the old CW model. I already gave it to my girlfriend last night but I had to ask it back. So ashamed I've been drinking and EDCing many times before, but never lost a light. Maybe I should get some cheap light to carry when going to a bar. I am also annoyed that it was the new light I lost and that the driver should have stopped earlier so that I didn't have to jump out of the car so hasty.
I really liked the new model and the warm tint. I am now considering ordering a new one when I get my salary. If you have any suggestions for a better EDC in the price range of 30-50 €/$, please let me know.
