Enlightened
One time I thought I'd lost my Convoy M1 at the parking lot of the supermarket by my house - the pockets of the pants I was wearing that night are pretty loose, and I had no pocket clip on it. Searched around the lot, looked for it in the Lost & Found, checked both again the following day during daytime, and nope. Nada. It was my only warm white light and my very first Convoy with Biscotti, a firmware I love to bits.
To my luck, one day a full month later, I reached for the sunglasses tray on top of the driver's seat of my car, and bump. The M1! I'd put it in there precisely because I was afraid of the pockets failing it, and totally forgot about it. Happy times ensued
Now that I've learned the hard way, I never forget a torch on that tray if I ever put it there.
One I definitely lost was a Thrunite T10, the old model.
(Photo not mine)
This one I must have left on the bathroom at work, as I often did. This one I was unconcerned about losing, as it sucked. Far too small for my hands for a torch with a tailcap switch, awkward to hold; the "neutral white" XP-L inside it was very yellow with a hint of greenish (later I'd find out later, that means duv way above the BBL); mode distribution was wack, moonlight was good for nothing, medium mode was too low and high was too high; and the beam was much too wide, it struggled to illuminate anything outside of full blast, even indoors.
I was more gutted by losing the Eneloop inside it, really.
