UNATTENDED MOISTURE DENSITY GAUGE FOUND ON A CURB AT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX.
A Troxler Model 3440 series #29497 nuclear moisture density gauge belonging to Ground Engineering Consultants was found on the morning of 12/30/00 by the Aurora Police Department, who notified and requested the Fire Department and the Colorado Dept of Health to respond to the site. The gauge apparently had been left on the curb by a Ground Engineering employee who had unloaded it the night before from his truck near his apartment entrance prior to parking his vehicle in his parking space. When he returned to his apartment he inadvertently left the gauge at the curb where the police discovered it the next morning. That morning when the employee realized what was going on outside, he immediately went out to meet with the fire department and properly secured the gauge.
