Don't feel left out. When I get ready to do some work on the scooter, I run over a used bed sheet and pin the 4 corners up higher than the bike so I can find anything I drop or that falls off.

Great....now I'm all paranoid.

The brakes work but it burns out the brake light controller/relay/thingamajig.
If your brake lights still work you are OK.
