Tulsa police are looking for a large moisture and density gauge that contains dangerous radioactive material that was stolen from a car overnight.

The device was locked inside a vehicle in east Tulsa Wednesday night, and the car’s owner discovered the gauge missing Thursday morning.

The device is manufactured by Humboldt Manufacturing and is used to measure moisture and density in soils, concrete and asphalt.

The gauge contains Cesium 137, an extremely toxic radioactive isotope.
