George 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 his shed stealing things.

He phoned the police and the dispatcher asked, 'Is someone in your house?'

He said 'No. Not in my house, outside in my shed.'

The dispatcher said. 'All patrols are busy. Just lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available.' George said, 'Okay,' and he hung up the phone and counted to 30. Then he dialed the police again. George said. '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,' and he hung up.

Within 4 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 replied, 'I thought you said nobody was available!'

DH says that it's funny that they don't want to do anything if someone is stealing something, but when the homeowner does something "wrong" they are right there.

:laugh: true eh

:rotfl: That is so true MM. I have had to call the cops out at my place of work. I have learned if I mention the possibility of a weapon they are there in minutes. Otherwise It could take hours.
