Lost an L2 and an X5 within one week.

Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn.

Sh!t, hell, damn!

My sympathies. Were any of them attached to lanyards, and if not, why not?

That's really horrible! I hope they turn up. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon23.gif

Re: Bad, bad week

I'm pretty sure the L2 is around the house somewhere; I just can't find it for the life of me! I've torn the place apart. But if and when it does show up, it'll be a happy day!

The X5 I lost at work; set it on my briefcase so I wouldn't forget to put it back in the truck, and promptly forgot it was there! Some cleaning lady has a nice light now.

They both had wrist lanyards, but you do have to take them off your wrist sometime!

Thanks for the sympathies. It was a tough week all the way around.

My X5T went missing for about 3 weeks... until we found it under the bed. I *swear* I checked there at least 554.43 times!

You need a wife like mine..
"Honey, I can't find my.."
She answeres me before my sentence is done.
Having said that, she is determined I will lose my L4..

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif Ouch, so sorry to hear that, Theo. I know just a tiny bit how you must feel; I've lost a good light but not both an L2 & X5T.

Although this will only work if an honest person finds your lights, but now I insert a slip of paper thanking the finder for calling my phone number. I've done this to all my lights of any value.

My hope is that even if they aren't, initially, honest, once they price the 123 cells (retail$) they may feel sorry for the sucker that got a stupid light that costs so much to run. You can only hope. Good luck.

Re: Bad, bad week

That's gotta sting the wallet quite a bit. That really sucks. Hope you end up finding them.


No, this post is not very creative /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif

Whoo hoo! Found them both!!

THe X5 had rolled under my desk, and the L2 was in my sweat pants; I had been helping the wife set up a yard sale.

I think I'll re-read deranged coder's post!

Happy day, oh happy day! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/clap.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: Whoo hoo! Found them both!!

That's great, Theo!

But, if you are like me, finding something lost can be almost bitter-sweet. I get all ready to replace whatever it was that got lost. Then, when it is found, the built up anticipation of getting something new has no outlet. It is almost a bummer.

Maybe you could celebrate by getting some replacements anyway? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

(Justification for getting a new light #341.)

Re: Whoo hoo! Found them both!!

Glad you found them. Yes beezaur is right. I think you should buy extras just incase there is another mishap like this in the future. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
