Around noon time on 10/26/12, [a licensee representative] called and notified the Department [Georgia Radioactive Material Program] that upon his arrival at work that morning around 8:30 am, he discovered that his office was vandalized, and the Niton Model # XP300A/Serial # 22283 Lead Paint Analyzer radioactive device was stolen. He indicated that his door was left unlocked that night. When he walked in the two drawer file where the gauge was stored, was opened. The intruder was able to locate the key to the cabinet and the key was still in the open drawer. The device was locked in the carrying case, and the case was also stolen. The licensee stated that the device was last used on 10/25/12, and returned to storage around 5:00 pm before leaving work on that day. The device contains a Cadmium 109, 40 mCi source, Serial # TR0380.
