Well it finally happened, I lost my duty light:mecry: While working at a local night club I had to respond to a fight. Sometime while runnng through the crowd my light case got caught on something or someone and popped open. Somewhere during the 75 ft dash through some 400 people my light must have bounced out of the case and onto the floor. Unfortunatly the light did not turn on making it impossible to find. I searched for about 30 minutes, stayed past closing to look and even left a note for the janitor with no signs. Knowing my luck some little drunk punk probably found it and will throw it away once the batteries die. I wouldnt be so mad if I knew someone found it and will take care of it but knowing the patrons at the club, they wont. Hopefully some girl found it and put it in her purse and maybe one day it will scare off some creepy guy should the need arise but who really knows. And now that I think of all the stuff that little light survived, all the people it " accidently" hit and all the evidence it helped me find, it makes me miss it even more.
I have ordered a replacement but i have to wait roughtly 3 weeks for it to arrive ( shipping from the US to Can) So now I have to get used to carrying another light until my back up arrives. Ill probably go with my strion and hope the one hour runtime will last me a shift. Ill end my rant here.
