Title	Agreement State Report
Event Description	The RSO reported by phone to Radiologic Health Branch (RHB), Granada Hills, that one of its portable nuclear gauges had been stolen the night of 9/21/03, between 2330 and 0630 [PDT], from the RSO's vehicle which was parked in a back parking lot at his apartment complex in Glendale, CA. The gauge is a CPN, Model MC-2, S/N M21073950, containing Cs-137 and Am-241 sealed sources, special form, 10 [millicuries] and 50 [millicuries], respectively. Apparently, the RSO took two gauges home on 9/21/03 to drop one off at a job site for another operator and one for his use at another job site the next day. The RSO stated he stored the two gauges in the bed of his vehicle, locked down and concealed with a tarp. The morning of 9/22/03, the RSO found that one of the two gauges (his) was missing. The second gauge was not taken but had its case damaged. It seems that a 'hammer-like' tool also kept in the vehicle was possibly used to break in. Note that this is the 2nd reported theft of a nuclear gauge for this licensee this year. The last one was reported stolen on 6/19/03 and then recovered on 7/7/03. The RSO had already notified the Glendale Police Department and his company management. The RSO will be providing a written report shortly.
