Reward Posted for Machine’s Return
An Anaheim company is offering a $200 reward for return of a stolen test machine, warning that radioactive material it contains could become a health risk.
Dave Brown, field services manager for the soil-engineering company Moore & Taber, said Saturday that the machine, which analyzes soil samples, poses no health risk unless dismantled.
