WOW. Hopefully the karma bus will catch up to the jack-knockers that thought this little maneuver was cute. God forbid one day you are in need of emergency services and some buffoons decide to steal the ambulance you may need to be transported to a hospital in.

Sounds like a couple of idiots had a whole bowl full of stupid that morning. Hope they never need an ambulance.

Soooooo not funny. This could have ended very badly. Hopefully they find out who moved it.

Hopefully the person that needed the ambulance is OK... What appears to be a stupid prank could have ended up in manslaughter charges had the person died as a result

This is like stealing a cement mixer mixing cement, but of course that process is deliberate and calculated, it is the purpose of their design. And they say that they do not do so on purpose. So either they do not recognize the purpose of a Ambulance, or their analogy is somewhat like if I described my hair as As green as a leaf, only not so green, and much more brown, or something to that extent.

WOW! How frustrating, and this looks like a prank from "young punks". If and when the person(s)are found, their penalty should be harsh. What if the person(s)EMS were treating inside had to be rushed to the hospital because of a life-threatning condition? Regardless, the punishment for stealing a city-owned vehicle should be severe!
