Event Description	The following information was received via facsimile: [The State of Florida] received a report from licensee of a missing 144.6 microCurie Cs-137 sealed source used as a dose calibrator. Source was first discovered missing by inventory on Aug 12, 2011. Also reported by licensee that the Hot Lab was broken into 2 weeks ago and items were missing from a crash cart. Advised licensee to make a police report. Central Inspection Office assigned to investigate. Florida Incident Number: FL11-078. 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.
