Oh Hey How’s That Audenreid High School Project Going Well You Say Wait What Was That YOU LOST THE RADIOACTIVE DEVICE?

In yet another job of crack Philadelphia competent work, yesterday a portable radioactive device was reported missing from a South Philly construction site.

The device can’t be used as any kind of bomb — unless MacGyver stole it — and was taken from a construction truck on the 3300 block of Tasker. The device is used for measuring the density of soil at construction sites. It won’t harm anybody from a block or so away, but anybody who tries to tamper with it, handle the radioactive source or use it as a football could be risking exposure to dangerous material.

If you see the device walking down the street, talking to a terrorist or running for mayor, police have asked you to, uh, call them. It’s a bright yellow case with the radiation symbol on it. And to those of you who have other radioactive devices — in your homes, at your job, at your construction sites — please remember to keep a close eye on them.

Update, 10:58 a.m.: Ooh, nevermind! Cops found the device in Nicetown at Germantown and Hunting Park Avenues. Hooray; we’re all safe!
