This is the third such theft in Mexico this year, which really doesn’t inspire confidence in Mexican law enforcement.

The Interior Department says a pickup truck carrying the iridium was stolen and later found…But the pen-point-sized radioactive material has not been recovered.

The operations chief for the National Nuclear Security Commission says the device, if opened, could cause harm.
