Title	Agreement State Report - Stolen Troxler Gauge
Event Description	A technician who works for the licensee left his vehicle at his residence and then went to have dinner about 30 minutes away. Upon returning to his home and vehicle, the technician found that all equipment had been stolen, including the Troxler moisture/density gauge, model 3430, s/n 32187. The gauge contained 40 milliCi of Am-241/Be and 8 milliCi Cs-137. The licensee had the Troxler chained and locked to the truck bed. The licensee filed a police report with the Opelousas State Police, and will be offering a reward. THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL 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.
