Hi Karl,
I think it's gone for good but this is how I look at it:
A few days ago I was dealt with a fella that was on meth, heroin, had no job, no money, and his drug-using wife just took off with his car leaving him stranded from home a hundred miles away. He used to have a pretty good job before the drugs got hold of him. Now, he was so depressed that he was planning on walking in front of a semi to kill himself.
Losing that flashlight sucked, yes, but I'm not THAT guy...
