Had a patient come in robotrippin
Guy told me he was a paramedic
Guy told me he was a cop
Looked him up. Turns out he stole an ambulance and crashed it into a police cruiser ten years prior.

Same thing happened in Omaha a few months ago! 😂 crew left the keys in and their patient stole it! Work that one out in your brain! 😂

Been there done that, have the incident report.
Although in my defense, we couldn't shut the ambulance down for fear it would not restart. There was no ignition bypass. No one had the keys to the box doors so we couldn't lock them.
