HOW TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND DON'T MOVE FAST ANYMORE.
George Phillips of Gold Coast, Australia 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. ( Boy does this sound familiar! )
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've just shot them." Then he hung up.
Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response Unit, 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!"
Don't mess with old people!!

Yes. Its like having a papercut and an abulance not coming out for you, so you tell them you've chopped your leg off.

Granted, he probably wasted police resources in terms of 'armed response', but he didn't waste police time, because there were actually people robbing him.

but he had already been told that someone would be out. For all he knew they could of all been at some serious crime somewhere and he pulled them away from it over a shed beig broken into.
I hope they threw the book at the fucker and he spent the rest of his life in prison.
btw - I know this isnt a real story!

I realised that we were beginning to have a heated discussion about something complete fictional.
