HOW TO CALL THE POLICE - WHEN
YOU'RE OLD AND DON'T MOVE SO FAST ANYMORE....


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 them" 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!"

This is a true story! I LOVE IT!

Don't mess with old people

Great story. Had an incident similar once. Caught two teenagers breaking into my firework tent at 3:00 AM. When I called the cops they weren't willing to do anything. I told the dispatcher to never mind the call and I would take care of the problem. Also told them those kids would never still anything again. Cops were there in about 1 minute!

After It Took Over 4 Hours Last Year To Get The Springfield Police Department Out After Someone Broke Out The Passenger Side Glass Of Wifes Explorier, I Told Them I Would Never Call Them Again! We Now Have A Sign Over Our Garage Door That Has A Picture Of A Gun With The Words We Don't Call 911! I Also Put A Sign The Size Of A Real Estate Sign In Our Front Yard Stating: Warning Residents Have Ccw Permits! All Our Neighbors Came Over And Told Us That They Supported Us 100%! The Nice Officer Told Me That If I Would Have Shot Someone They Would Have Been Out Sooner To Do The Report. I Told Him That Next Time I Would Do It Like We Do It In Hickory County, Just Call The Sheriffs Office And Tell Them We Have A Blood Trail!

Great story

Many years ago, we turn out the lights to go to bed
an low and behold saw flashlight across the street
in neighbors house.

We called the police and dang if they didnt show up

The theives had loaded the car with meat from the freezer
and bunch of other stuff.

Just as they were about to leave here come the flashing lights.

They ended up in jail:D
