Re: Stolen Omicron
Thanks a million for the attention, Mike, PARTICULARLY the post of the original thread and the picture! I had just posted in the WTB section in a somewhat sarcastic manner and, had my thread closed and referred to post here instead.
Yes, I did contact the Postal authorities in the town of intended delivery. They are investigating the situation where the contents disappeared.
The situation is that the box was (presumably) machine damaged (opened) the Omicron and the Rayskin case were seen or fell out and PooF, vanished into thin area...or someone's pocket I'll wager. It's a very nice light and, an equally nice carry holster and, even to the uninformed, it's an attractive bauble if nothing else. As far as I can tell by tracking the computer system, the first location in Pennsylvania (where I reside) it arrived was the Lehigh Valley distribution center. It was scanned in at 1:08 AM on July 6th and, left the facility at 3:00 AM. I believe that was where and when the box was damaged and, the contents (light and case) got into someone's hands....."lost".
I have a beef, complaint with both the Postal authorities there in the Lehigh facility who should have stopped the shipping at that point and contacted the sender or me, the recipient. They did not. I have a rather obvious complaint as well with the individual who took the contents and didn't report it. For the damaged, EMPTY box to continue on its' way to me is somewhat hard for me to believe. I wish I could post the picture here but, half of one side of the cardboard box was torn off! This wasn't a bump or a scrape or an ink mark. . What I am trying to convey is that there is little incentive for the individual to be honest and come forward with the contents.
I didn't initially post here on CFP in the belief that whomever took my property is also a member of CPF rather that this forum is open to everyone who has computer access and interest in our hobby. As such, information on my missing light and/or case may reach the person who now is in illegal possession of it---either on this forum or on other forums associated with lights or not. I may be completely naive however, that individual just may choose to return them to their rightful owner--me. How I can't say but, creativity would help---tell a friend of a friend...whatever works. I'd really like them back! I've only seen pictures of them and, a bill in the mail! Come on, fess up!
Anyway, hopefully I've clearly expressed myself and the situation and, all turns out well. In the meantime, thanks to all who have or may help in the future!
