AGREEMENT STATE REPORT INVOLVING A STOLEN PORTABLE GAUGE

"An authorized user reported that a portable gauge (believed to be a Troxler model 3411 containing no more than 10 millicuries of cesium 137 and no more than 50 millicuries of americium 241/beryllium) had been stolen from his pickup truck sometime between 7:30 PM Wednesday, November 27, and 4 AM Thanksgiving morning. The authorized user had brought the gauge to his residence and left the gauge in its locked case chained into the open bed of his pickup truck. During the night an attempt was made to cut the chain. However, it proved to be easier to break off the case handle through which the chain was secured to the vehicle. The damaged but presumably still locked case and locked gauge were then removed. The authorized user notified the police and called the Department of Health's radiation emergency line (206-NUCLEAR). The licensee's RSO was out of town and an alternate licensee official was notified. Department of Health staff advised the licensee official to post a reward and to provide more detail including the serial number of the gauge."
