> They believe that vibrations from the truck caused the sensor to shake apart and also dislodged a mounting bolt, leaving a hole in the bottom of the box. The capsule is believed to have fallen out of the sensor, through the bolt-hole, onto the surface of the truck, and bounced off into the road.
I have a bag of locking washers I would be more than happy to donate if it makes this kind of thing less likely to happen in the future. In the mean time, good luck.
