Were the Ambulance Doors Locked or Unlocked?

Please lock the doors (make sure key is in hand) as you exit the vehicle. Criminals have no code. Auto theft does not discriminate. If the crew locked the doors: then this guy has some nerve but many people do.

Defibs stolen from ambulance

This is something happening a bit more here, people see them on tv and have had a few stolen over the years from the back of the truck. Entonox cylinders are commonly stolen as they are NOS for boy racer cars.

Sad state when the trucks have to be locked at a scene because of yobo's.

Why aren't more vehicles equipped with an anti-theft system. Any truck at my service or any other Ontario service I've dealt with, when you put the truck in park, engage the parking brake and flick the anti-theft switch the keys can be removed and the truck locked while keeping it running. Can't be put into gear at this point, just shuts off and since every vehicle has a key fob now, no real inconvenience to get back in.
