| "Troxler Model 3411, Serial No. 9260 with two sealed sources: 8.3 millicurie |
| Cs-137, Serial No. 47-5771; and 40 millicurie Am-241/Be, Serial No. 40-6575, |

| downtown San Antonio. The gauge had last been used at approximately 12:30 pm |
| and was secured in the bed of the pickup. The operator/driver proceeded to |
| several other jobs during the afternoon. When returning to the truck, parked |

| stolen by cutting the lock on the transport case and removing the gauge from |
| the case. The gauge's paperwork and standard block were not stolen. A Police |
| Report has been filed with the San Antonio Police Department. The gauge has |
| not been located. A copy of the police report is not yet available. The |
| gauge was recovered by the San Antonio Police Department, who report that |
| they broke up a fight between two men over the gauge on the side of a San |
| Antonio street. The men report that they saw the gauge thrown from the rear |
| of a van traveling down the street. The police notice the radiation symbol |
| on the gauge during the recovery, which occurred during the morning of |
| 01/11/02. Exact time of recovery is not known. Gauge is packaged and being |
| readied by Licensee for shipment to the manufacturer (Troxler - Arlington, |
