It wasn't "we". It was firemonkeys.

Nuff said.

Good of them to turn the ignition off, at least putting a 1-2 second delay on the skell making off with the truck. Many people around here don't even shut the truck down, especially on very hot or cold days.

We don't shut the ambulance down during temperature extremes here either. We do however lock the ambulance and take the keys with us. Almost all of our ambulances are equiped with an anti-theft function that allows us to leave the ambulance run with the keys out and the doors locked. Even if we forget to lock the ambulance it kills the engine as soon as the brake is touched until the keys are put back in the ignition. It's always really entertaining watching the rookies jump in and kill the car as soon as they try to put it back in gear.

idiots. policy where I work, and every other place is "when you are not in the ambulance, it is to be locked."

we used to move peoples ambulances that left them running at the ER when they took patients inside.. fun stuff
