Well, I was visiting a buddy of mine the other day at his house, when in the middle of our conversation I noticed he began looking for something. So I asked what he was looking for and he said that he was looking for a flashlight. I happened to have my E1L Cree with a LiFePO4 in my jacket pocket and I asked if that would do the job as I handed it over to him. He expressed how amazed he was at the output compared to the size of the light, then he used it to find what it was he was originally looking for. A few minutes later a few more individuals (roommates/friends) came in and he asked if he could show it off to them, to which I conceded. It went around the room as we continued our conversation. I then received a phone call from a client that I needed to take outside, so I tended to the client call and after a few minutes I returned. We finished our conversation and I left the house not even thinking about the light due to my train of thought being diverted to the issue pertaining to my client (now if it were a McGizmo Ti PD-S it might have been another story, then again I doubt it would have ever left my sight). I arrive at home about an hour or so later, after stopping at the office to file a bit of paperwork, and as I reach into my jacket pocket I don't feel my E1L. So I check my other pockets, the car, the driveway, etc... I then call my friend and ask if I had left it on his kitchen or living room table. He double checks and can't find it. I then asked him to check his garage...Nothing. I even asked him to call his roomates/friends and see if any of them "accidentally" pocketed it. No one knows where it is. I decided to take it upon myself to call a few of them and ask if they had any idea where it could be... Apparently the new E1L-Crees are capable of performing this amazing vanishing "act" when they pass through the hands of many (non-CPFer) individuals.
As of right now I have lost all hope of ever getting this little guy back. I guess this is a good lesson to learn on a stock E1L instead of a McGizmo or Milky Modded E1L. It's just so irritating that someone would even consider stealing something like that. They probably have no idea of its value and if they do and try to put that LiFePO4 into a 3.6v charger things will get real ugly real fast :shakehead.
