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 your
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, counted to 30, and phoned
the police again. "Hello, I just called you a few
seconds ago because there were people stealing things
from my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them
now because I just shot them." Then he hung up.
Within five minutes six police cars, a SWAT Team, a
helicopter, two fire trucks, a paramedic and an
ambulance showed up at the Phillips' residence and
caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the Policemen said to George: "I thought you said
that you'd shot them!" George said, "I thought you said
there was nobody available!"

Superb, but don't go putting ideas in my head............
