Ambulance Heist

"I've been involved in a number of heists with a number of people. There was one…

I would retrieve a decommissioned ambulance from the scrap yard. Milford, the mechanic would fix up the engine.

Two of us playing paramedics, a third driving, we'd park behind the bank in the shared courtyard of the care home next door. No questions asked.

Milford's mother, Peg, plays picking up her pension, feigns a heart attack. We come to Peg's rescue, creating a scenario that gains us access to demand the money discreetly, while distracting everybody else. Mislead them into a corner, then sirens on, space to flee.

All goes to plan until the driver gets scatty; claims he sees a police van drive past the yard. Scarpers before we finish.

Then, an actual sodding ambulance drives into the courtyard, just after ours flees!

We leave the bank, faced with two paramedics loading up an elderly gent in an ambulance not dissimilar to ours.

Police sirens closening, we drop the loot and run.

'Money's still missing.

Seems the paramedics made a quick decision to follow through with an opportunity we handed them, no questions asked.

I suppose an honest job eventually pays off."
