Missing: A biohazardous nuclear testing device.Last seen: Coral Gables.
The danger: It emits radioactivity when tested.
It sounds like the start of a Tom Clancy novel, but this is no fiction.The device, commonly used to test the density of soil in construction sites, went missing late Thursday afternoon, according to Coral Gables police.A worker loaded the device-roughly the size of a treasure chest-onto a pickup truck at a construction site at 135 San Lorenzo Ave. about 5 p.m.When the driver arrived at his destination-Flagler Street near Southwest 31st Avenue-the device was missing.Police believe it fell off the truck.'This device is used in construction sites everyday,'' said Sgt. Javier Bruzos."Although it's not particularly dangerous, it's a concern.''The device is not hazardous to the touch, police say, but it sends off radioactivity when in use.
As in the days of Noah...
