Found a Inova T4 Last Night!

RemingtonBPD · Apr 13, 2007

So I was on patrol and we got dispatched to an area for large fireworks complaint. As we were searching through the backyards and field, I found what appeared to be a used fireworks mess...while searching around with my light I looked down and thought I saw just another firework...but to my surprise it was a near mint Inova T4...hhahaha the idiots were in such a hurry to get out of there after lighting the fireworks he must have dropped his light...score one new light for me...WOOHOOO!! Now all I need to do is find a charger for it.

Re: Found a Inova X4 Last Night!

Nice find! You can buy the cradle and power supply for the T4 here. But even at these low prices, I'd say you're better off buying a new T4 and selling this one, unless you're interested in only the vehicle power cord.

I wonder if you encountered a pyrotechnic CPF member though. Not many people know of INOVA, much less the rechargable T4.

Nice find. I just hope that the owner is not a CFP member and reading this post. "Technically" you were on duty and any "found property" should be bagged and tagged. If for some reason the actual owner reads your post he may have a valid complaint. I guess if you were off duty its finders keepers right.

Not to critique your find, but just be careful what ya post....espically when it relates to your work.

They would have to know where I work lol...and based on being dumb enough to lose a light, I doubt they would be a CPF member...we would never do that :laughing:

Very true. If any of us here lost a light we would be looking all over the world for it! :drool:

I dont know what the fines are like in Rhode Island but here you pay more for setting off fireworks illegally than you do for a T4 so its very unlikely someone would be willing to go on record filing a complaint and risk getting caught.
Nice find though...... lucky *******!

oh oh! hehe one for the car charger and one for the home charger. Sweet!

RemingtonBPD · Apr 13, 2007

I think I am definately going to be keeping this light...it seems like it will make a good beater light for around the house and stuff....so I might have to purchase the charger now

If it's TIROS it's begging for a new SSC-P4 U bin to be put in.

You don't know that. You are just making a convenient assumption.

RemingtonBPD · Apr 13, 2007

Anyone done any upgrades on them? Can the TIROS be replaced?

I think if its not handed in to lost property, it is theft nice way to set an example this is not how I teach my children :rant:

It's NEVER finders keepers. In my 25 years on the job, it's a matter of integrity. Some have it some don't. I suppose that it might probably have been turned into the property room, and hopefully someone is just having some fun.

Even though most everyone uses fictious names, there are plenty of ways. to track down people. Some might include look at every post someone made and getting thare yahoo/aol and AIM accounts etc. Plenty more ways including checking out ones myspace account. Someone could even get you DOB One might learn where one went to high school and college as well as friends. Whatkind of Gocks ones carries and when one graduated from the police academy.

It's amazing what is out there on the net or I could just be thinking out loud.

That almost sounds like a threat...and first of all...do you honestly think that a flashlight left in a field is going to be claimed? It will sit in property until it rots..and for what? After I cleaned all of the mud off of it and threw it in my locker...it can sit there until the criminal comes to claim it then....like that will happen....you are more than welcome to contact me via PM if you would like to discuss this further.

Right, right...the same ones that were lighting off illegal fireworks in the middle of the night waking up neighbors....and I am sure you would have marched right on down to the police station and said "I found this mud covered flashlight in a field and was concerned about the owner"

Finders Keepers in this case i guess the person who lost it deserved it for being a prick i don't think op will have any problem returnning it if the owner came forward and claimed it.
Same like you find CASH on the street what do you do?
