Title	Stolen Moisture Density Gauge
Event Description	The following report was received by the California Department of Public Health (the Department) via email: On June 19, 2023, the licensee notified the Department that at 0100 [PDT] one nuclear gauge (Troxler 3430, SN 19706) containing 8 mCi Cs-137 and 40 mCi Am-241/Be was stolen from a locked vehicle that was parked in an apartment complex. The gauge was stored in its case that was chained and locked to the pick up truck bed. The gauge was not visible as the bed of the truck was fitted with a locking cover. The cover had been broken open and the locks securing the gauge were cut. Sacramento Police were notified and an electronic report was filed. The Department will investigate. California Event Number: 061923 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.
