Title	Agreement State Report - Stolen Troxler Moisture Density Gauge
Event Description	The following information was obtained from the State of New York via fax: New York State Department of Health was notified on October 31, 2014 by the Radiation Safety Officer of Materials Testing Laboratories, Inc. of the theft of a moisture/density device from a locked vehicle on Friday October 31, 2014. The device is identified as a Troxler Model 4640, serial no. 722 containing 8 millicuries of Cesium 137. The device was apparently being stored within the locked vehicle. The transport case was tethered to the frame of the vehicle with the cable locked to the hasp of the carrying case. The operator of the device discovered that the back lift gate to the 2009 Chrysler Aspen SUV was opened and the lock was removed from the carrying case. The device was stolen from the transport case. Nothing else in the vehicle was stolen. Local law enforcement have responded and are investigating. New York Event ID No.: NY-14-04 THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.
