Event Description	While at the office, Site002, on Sunday, November 23, 2008, the licensee had a truck with a gauge secured in the bed which was stolen by cutting the chain and lock. The employees had left to go to a jobsite and upon returning to the office noticed that the gauge had been stolen. The Dallas Police Department was notified and a report was filed. The Agency was notified at the start of business on Monday, November 24, 2008. The gauge was a Troxler 3430 (S/N 334330) and had two sources, 8mCi of Cs-137 (S/N 750-8953) and 40mCi of Am-241 (S/N 471455).

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.
