George Phillips, an elderly man from
Walled Lake, Michigan, 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!"
