| Title | Troxler Gauge Stolen from the Back of a Pickup Truck |
| Event Description | An employee of Foundation Engineering Science, Newport News, Virginia, checked out a Troxler Model number 3430 moisture density gauge to be used on a worksite located in Norfolk, Virginia. The individual stopped off at Wal-Mart in Norfolk, Virginia, and went inside to get some items. When he arrived back he found the Troxler moisture density gauge missing. He went back into Wal-Mart and viewed a video tape taken by the Wal-Mart security camera. Two individuals in a truck were seen taking the gauge. Norfolk police were contacted and a police report was made (did not have police report number). It is unknown at this time if the gauge was chained and locked to the bed of the pickup truck (company policy is to chain and lock the gauge to the bed of the pickup truck). The Troxler moisture density gauge stolen model number is 3430 and its serial number is 29129. This information was relayed to Troxler and they have entered this information into their data base. The gentleman making the report did not know if a reward had been announced for the recovery of the gauge. Troxler Model 3430 source strengths are typically (8 millicuries of cesium-137 and 40 millicuries of Am-241/Be). |
