"Stolen Troxler gauge & case were recovered undamaged by the licensee this afternoon. The source rod was still locked. A teenage boy claimed the reward and stated that he had found it Saturday night (during the hurricane) beside the side of road which runs along the orange grove right behind the storage container. When his mother saw the radiation sticker she told him to get it out of the house. He then opened up the case and found the contact information and called the licensee. He claimed that the case lock was gone when he found it."
