How to call the cops

Here's a good one. Now don't tell me this is an urban legend too!

Quote:
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!" (True Story)
