How to call the police

4 shiney stars

George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi ...was going up to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.

He phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in the house?" and he said "No".
Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available. George said, "Okay," hung up, waited thought a minute, he phoned the police again.

"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now cause I've just shot them all." Then he hung up.

Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips residence. Of course, the burglars were then caught red-handed.

One of the Policemen said to George: "I thought you had phoned to say these guys had been shot!?"

George replied, "I thought you guys had said there was nobody available!?"

True story.
