The stolen gauge was last seen on Friday, October 25, 2013 by the authorized user, who secured the M/D gauge in safe mode inside the locked yellow transportation box which was placed inside a locked metal box. The contractor's tools at the site in Mission Valley, CA was also burglarized and a police report was filed.

CA 5010 Number: 102813 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.
