The Ambulance Chasers LTD

Young pranksters these days. They don't just steal a haymaker to go joyridin' anymore:

A 17-year-old was arraigned on theft charges and a 16-year-old was turned over
to juvenile authorities Monday after they were caught running from an ambulance
that had been stolen outside a Grand Prairie home.

The ambulance's
crew was inside the home tending to a patient in a non-emergency case, said
Cynthia Wentworth, a spokeswoman for American Medical Response, which owns the
ambulance.
When they came outside early Monday, the ambulance was gone.
Officials used a global positioning device to track the ambulance, which was
spotted about 18 miles away in Grapevine.

As a tax payin' citizen, I'd like to offer an alternative to community service and probation. No doubt these children can still be saved, can still eventually turn the corner on their desire to steal life-saving vehicles. If American Medical Response is game, I'd like to see these imps driving around and performing duties as EMT's for real - the first woman having a seizure who shits herself will be an eye-opener for the scamps, and as the deaths mount up, patients passing into the mysteries at the other end of the tunnel of light - the boys unable to help, reading from Cliff Note medical guides - trying to figure out what to do - the boys will become bitter dissatisfied alcoholics, just trying to make it through a day without scraping a shard of glass along their wrist or telling a perfect stranger that they love them - then, and only then, will these rascals be like us, responsible grown-ups.
