Model the I-V characteristics 'seen' by the load. Equivalent circuits do not represent the power dissipated by the network it replaces:  Circuit above dissipates $P = -\frac{V_{in}^2}{R_1+R_2}$ while the eqiuvalent thevenin circuit:  does not. You cannot find currents at a certain point in the circuit.
