Pawned Nuclear Gauge Found

I wonder if I was at Wal-mart the day it was stolen...

Stolen nuclear gauge found in local pawn shop

The device, a moisture density gauge used to take ground measurements by projecting radiation into the ground, was stolen from a pickup truck in a Wal-Mart parking lot on Military Highway [Norfolk, Virginia] last month, according to police. A pawn shop owner contacted 13News after seeing our report about the stolen device. A man who works for the company which owns the device says it does not appear that it was tampered with.

The FBI and the device's owner picked it up at the pawn shop today. They haven't found the person who stole it and pawned it though.
