Title	Stolen Troxler Gauge
Event Description	A technician was working at a jobsite on 9/15/07, and when he completed his work about 1800, he drove to the company office in Southfield, MI. He left the Troxler gauge double locked in the back of the company pickup truck. When he reported to work on 09/18/07 at 0700 he noticed that the Troxler gauge was missing from the truck. He reported this to the RSO. The Troxler is a model 3440, s/n 36107, with Am-241/Be (40 mCi), s/n 78-998, and Cs-137 (8 mCi), s/n 77-3236. Licensee reported this to the Southfield police who issued report # 07-58570. 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.
