Rescue squad member stealing gas on the County's dime.

Meh, Whatevs. I haven't met a medic yet who hasn't stolen something from the company. A bandaid or two here, an amp of morphine there. What's a few bucks worth of gas? :)
 
Back when I started in EMS we all shared the same fuel code that was used to fuel both diesel rigs and gas-powered SUVs. Once they changed to employee-issued cards I hear fuel costs were nearly cut in half. Hm.

A band aid or piece of gauze no big deal. In our case last year a medic went a 10 month fuel buying spree with a card that no one knew was missing. Even let some friends and family in on the free fuel. Person got caught when I saw my fuel pin being fraudulently used and matched the gas stations to their routine travel routes from home. Multi thousand dollars of fuel later they were fired.
 
My volunteer service had a issue several years ago where they felt their fuel bill were running much higher than expected. They took the fuel card out of the gas-powered SUV, locked the fuel cards for the ambulances to Diesel only, and issued the full-time supervisors their own fuel card for the SUV... haven't had any issues since then.

He was making a pretty funny stab at me. It's cool, and I bet he doesn't really think stealing stuff is ok.
 
At the hospital people steal extremely large amounts of coband. They eventually had to lock it up because the container would be restocked for the week and then half empty by the end of the day.
