>
> 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

> '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
> stealing things from my shed. Well, you don't

> because I've just shot them.' Then he hung
> up.
>
> Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed
> Response Unit, and an
> ambulance showed up at the Phillips' residence

> One of the Policemen said to George: 'I thought

> George said, 'I thought you said there was
