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 thebedroom 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 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 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!" |
