Title	Agreement State Report Involving a Stolen Troxler Gauge
Event Description	Abstract: The agency received a call at 13:40 on September 10, 2003, from [DELETED] RSO of S.T.A.T.E. Testing, LLC (License Number IL-01015-01). He reported that, at approximately 13:15, this afternoon, a Troxler Model 3440 moisture density gauge, serial number 22737, (containing 8 mCi of Cesium-137 and 40 mCi of Americium-241/Beryllium), was stolen from the back of a locked truck (Ford F-150) parked on the street at 63rd and Racine in Chicago. According to the technician in charge of the gauge, [DELETED], the source rod was locked in the shielded position and the device itself was contained in a locked D.O.T. Type A transport container with Radioactive -Yellow II transport labels on it. The licensee stated that he would notify the police next. We suggested that he provide the police with photographs of such a type A container and the device itself. We also recommended that he consider a press release or other means to get the word out to the public, in case it is abandoned and later found. In addition to the written report required by our regs, we instructed [DELETED] to keep us informed of any developments in this case. We also provided him with the number to our Dispatch Center, if it happens to be recovered during off-hours. This event was reported to the NRC Operations Center at 1759 hrs e.s.t. and assigned NRC Event No. 40144. Illinois Item Number: IL030067
