True Story From the Meridian, Mississippi STAR

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 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. Of course, the police 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!"
