Okay, sorry, call me cynical but what are the odds Rio Tinto placed a capsule by the side of the road, to walk off with a $1,000 fine, while whoever ripped open the gauge and stole the material is out there planning God-knows-what?
From their secret stockpile of illegal unregistered radiation sources they smuggled into the country to replace lost registered sources with?
This made me laugh. I was definitely being a bit of a nudge and just free-form conspiracy theorizing. The idea that Rio had to register all their sources never even occurred to me.
