George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi was going to bed when his wife told him he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. When George opened the back door, he saw there were people in the shed stealing things.
He phoned the police, who asked him if there anyone was in his house, and he said, "No." Then they told him all the patrols were busy, and that he should lock all his doors. The police would be along as soon as someone was availablle.
George hung up, counted to 30 and phoned the police again.
"Hello, I called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don't have to worry anymore because I 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 police officers said to George, "I thought you said you'd shot them."
George said, "I thought you said there was no one available."
