HOW TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND DON'T MOVE SO FAST
ANYMORE.
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 a long 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's 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!' (True Story)

Snopes.com contacted the newspaper in Meridian where this supposedly true
story came from, the paper denied ever having run such a story. It's still
amusing, but apparently not true.
