CBRN event in Washington, Kirkland area, United States of America on Thu 6th November 2014

On November 7, 2014 the State of Washington was notified by Associated Earth Sciences over the theft of a Troxler portable gauge from the back of a pickup truck parked outside of the gauge user’s residence in Bothell, Washington. The tool box containing the gauge, which had been “secured in the bed of the pickup” with two cables and locks, was discovered to be missing at 07:30 PST on November 7. Since no cut lock or cable was left at the scene, it has not been determined how the tool box was detached from the truck bed. When asked why the gauge was not sent back at the end of the day to the storage location designated by license, the user responded that “the job site was close to his house and he wanted to avoid the hour and a half drive to the licensed facility to check out a gauge.” As of June 8, 2015, the gauge is still considered missing, and this maatter is considered closed.
