Ambulance stolen, smashed into pole

[colafdp]

A thief who made off with an ambulance and smashed it into a power pole caused $180,000 in damage early New Year's Day.

Saskatoon police say at 4:20 a.m., a woman took an ambulance from St. Paul's Hospital. Sgt. Keith Briant said hospital cameras captured the woman taking off in the ambulance. The operator, MD Ambulance, was able to track the vehicle's location with GPS.

Unfortunately, theft of ambulances from ER parking lots is an all-too-common occurance, and a very good reason to take the keys with you when you get out of the vehicle.

Somehow I doubt she will be able to make meaningful restitution for the destruction of a $150K ambulance, either.
