>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
