But as we’re making fun of this story, maybe it was an emergency?

@SaintRPh @JonahNRO They said to call an ambulance if it lasted more than 4 hours.

LOL. But let’s put the blame for all of this where it’s due:

Yep, he did blame a lack of public transportation. Via the Daily Tribune:

Frustrated with a lack of public transportation and in desperate need to reach a certain destination, a homeless man stole an ambulance from a hospital in Pontiac on Sunday.

“He told the deputy he was hoping to go to the Booby Trap to see some pole dancing,” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said.
