VANCOUVER, Wash. -- A Vancouver woman who called for an ambulance after her brother hit his head was surprised when the

ambulance arrived, then drove off a short time later without her brother.
 

Police responded to the report of the stolen AMR Northwest ambulance Wednesday night and found the undamaged vehicle

abandoned a few minutes later.
 

Officers say their investigation indicates a transient in the area may be responsible.
 

Liz Carney says a second ambulance responded quickly and her brother got the care he needed.
