Re: Re: Fw: Yahoo! News Story - Man allegedly steals ambulance that came to crash

[Guest guest]

When I was in paramedic school in Houston in 1981, that happened. Turned

out that the FD was out looking for it and they actually pinned it in and, so

the story is told, held the culprit at bay with pikes till the cops got there.

They had another one where the patient was dead from GSWs and a crowd

gathered, a hostile crowd, so they put the patient in the back of the truck and

got

in with him. Next thing they knew, the ambulance started up. The brother of

the dead guy had jumped in and started driving it to Ben Taub. I'm sure

that was a merry trip. LOL.

How many times have we left the ambulance running somwhere? About 8 years ago,

one was taken from a Nursing Home while the crew was inside returning a patient.

Three years ago, one was taken form an ER by a pschye patient and it resulted in

a high speed chase with spike strips being laid out in order to stop her. It

happens!

With the doors unlocked? Not once in well over twenty years. It's simple

common sense, which obviously is not all that common these days. I would submit

that any agency which does not require that their ambulances remain locked at

all times is an agency that has only themselves to blame for misappropriated

vehicles.

I wonder how many REALLY lock their units nowadays--especially at scenes-I

suppose not many. Now, if you're eating at a restaurant(a luxury) or out

shopping(Huh?), then I can see locking it up, but realistically, it's not the

norm and probably never will be. A service I used to work for, both crewmembers

had keys(AND WE STILL GOT LOCKED OUT-LOL) and it worked well, but it was a real

pain in the butt when you went to go retrieve equipment or asked a first

responder to assist in getting some equipment from the rig, and you forgot to

give him the key. It's got it's good points and bad.

 

Remember, Gage and Desoto never had to lock up their unit-or was it GANDY and

Desoto?

(Stay warm, Gene).

I would gather that he got in it, put it in gear and drove away. I have seen

that happen to police patrol cars while on scene.
