    From Wikipedia:
    Quote:

    Radon (pronounced /ˈreɪdɒn/) is the chemical element that has the symbol Rn and atomic number 86. Radon is a colorless, odorless, naturally occurring, radioactive noble gas that is formed from the decay of radium. It is one of the heaviest substances that are gases under normal conditions and is considered to be a health hazard.
    The device simply measures levels of Radon in your home (if there is any...i dunno anything about Radon)

    Someone is lookin out for ya.

    Did you have anyone doing any inspections or anything? It looks like a pricey piece of equipment that someone could get in trouble for losing.

    Maybe look at the package it came in and see who shipped it and let them know that they sent it to the wrong house. I can only hope if that were the item I bought and it went to the wrong place that, the person who got it was kind enough to send it back.

    lol Aint it though?

    You wouldnt be dumb enough to leave your car unlocked in new york city though right? Some are, and sometimes, stuff gets stolen. Thats what happens when you dont think, or are irresponsible. DONT leave valuable stuff just lying about. If someone leaves an ipod on the seat, along with a nice mac, or laptop, do you think someone is going to care if their intent is to steal it? I blame the person who left it in the open in an unlocked car in the first place to BRING that temptation to fruition.

    Regardless, i was half joking. Would i recommend keeping it? Probably not. if you live in an apartment, they will more than likely call around to find it where abouts. Dont lie about it. But, if they dont call around, meh. Its yours as far as im concerned.

    Sounds like some city people have been by there today.

    I would be asking some questions if they are checking radon.......like are you selling your house or anything?

    I work for a granite company and an article came out that all granites emit low levels of radon gas. It was a huge to do at my job and we were in crisis managment mode for a while. The funny thing is even potatoes emit radon gas but the media doesn't tell you that!

    Contact the buyers, find out who did the home inspection and get it returned! It is also possible that they are supposed to leave it there for a couple days so that it can gather information and you completely just ruined the test :banana:

    Who knows

    When you sell/buy a house around here you are supposed to have a Radon test done. If it is over a certain number they condemn the house, not sure of the number though.
