Round like a shot
Going to bed the other night, I noticed people in my shed stealing things.
I phoned the police but was told no one was in the area to help. They said they would send someone over as soon as possible.
I hung up. A minute later I rang again. ‘Hello,’ I said, ‘I called you a minute ago because there were people in my shed. You don’t have to hurry now, because I’ve shot them.’
Within minutes there were half a dozen police cars in the area plus helicopters and an armed response unit. They caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the officers said, ‘I thought you said you’d shot them.’
To which I replied, ‘I thought you said there was no one available.’

This is just too funny. Don’t try this to the local police though. They will not find it to funny.
Anyway, as for what happen to that man… Well, this is probably a joke. If it weren’t a joke, he’ll be charged.
It is likely that this is taken from British newspaper The Times.

by rickelle (Oct 28, 2007 at 2 AM)I actually have had to call the police back and tell them I was going to shoot someone because they would not send an officer out ASAP regarding a freakin pediphile hiding in the bushes near my apartment watching all the neighborhood kids playing. Seriously I called tehm 3 times in 15 minutes and no one was showing up so I called back and said I was going to shoot him. They showed up alright. 5 cop cars and I was the one they were talking about taking to jail not teh pediphile in the bushes. This was about 12-13 years ago.
