Need a fast response?

How to get a quick response.



George Phillips , an elderly man, from 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?"

He said "No," but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me.



Then the police dispatcher said "All patrols are busy. You should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available.."



George said, "Okay."



He hung up the phone and counted to 30. Then he 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 and killed them both, the dogs are eating them right now." and 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!"





(True Story) I LOVE IT!



Don't mess with old people.

We had a pack of dogs tearing up garbage on pickup nite. Called local police and were told the Dog Catcher only worked 8 to 5. I said " These Dogs only work from 9 at nite to 6 in the morning" I told him to stop by the day after Garbage nite and I would have them stacked up at the corner telephone pole. The dog catcher came !!!

I got sick and tired of kids in cars tearing up and down my street with little kids around. Called them in many times. By the time the cops showed up, the kids were always gone. So one day, I called it in as as burglary in progress. Took 30 seconds for the first squad car to arrive.

lol Mark K, all the other postscan't get the cops to come for a burglary, but here you call about one and the cops come screaming in.



Must be because Minnesota is secretly Canadian, and there can't be any crime allowed there. Canada has a reputation after all.

(My buddy has a large family in Wisconsin--they swear that Minnesota doesn't exist lol)



So did the cops bust the ricers?



(I'm ambivalent about this--while you may have stopped the kids from the threat of being run down, you also took away their entertainment. There ain't nothin to do in the Midwest. :grin: )

Scared the ricers away and they never came back. I guess all those squad cars coming with lights and sirens made them **** their sagging pants.
