Title	Stolen Troxler Moisture Density Gauge
Event Description	Sometime between 11/05/05 and 11/07/05 a Troxler Model 3440, Serial Number 15460, moisture density gauge was stolen from the licensee's field office in Rensselaer, Indiana. The licensee discovered that the office at that location was broken into and the gauge was stolen along with several other items. The gauge was kept inside the locked office and was chained to the floor. The police were notified and a police report will be made. The item contained a 8 millicuries Cesium-137 source and a 40 millicuries Americium-241/Beryllium source. The licensee will notify the NRC Region 3 office. * * UPDATE FROM KONIECZNY TO HUFFMAN AT 13:53 EST ON 11/10/05 * * * The licensee reports that the gauge was returned to the field office location sometime during the night by individuals unknown. It was discovered in front of the field office door by the first person reporting to the office around 7:00 am CST on 11/10/05. The gauge has been examined and appears to be undamaged. R3DO (Madera), NMSS EO (Morell), and TAS (Whitney via e-mail) notified. Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.
