Coming from a former big city department that essentially laundered funds through their apparatus repair shop, I feel the pain of not having enough serviceable trucks.

Not past tense. Still happens every day. I've had personnel younger than the reserve vehicles they were on that shift.

It’s a bit like beetlejuice when someone says laundered money through the repair shop and a guy whose name is CbusFF shows up. That department was the first one I thought of when I read his comment.
