Burglars in the Shed

[southerngale]

A man was going up to bed, when his wife told him he'd left the light on in the garden shed -- she could see it from the bedroom window. But he said that he hadn't been in the shed that day. He looked himself, and there were people in the shed, stealing things.

He rang the police, but they told him that no-one was in his area, so no-one was available to catch the thieves. He said OK, hung up, counted to 30 and rang the police again.

"Hello. I just rang you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now, I've just shot them all."

Within five minutes there were half a dozen police cars in the area, an Armed Response unit, the works. Of course, they caught the burglars red-handed. One of the policemen said to the man:
"I thought you said you'd shot them!"

He replied "I thought you said there was no-one available."

EXCELLANT!!! If that isn't the truth.

I actually had a real life experiance like this. I won't go into details, but take my word for it, I was innocent. I had a man pounding on my door (I knew the would be assailant) at 11 pm one night, and I got on the phone with the police and same deal...they weren't going to do anything. I told them I thought he had a gun...they asked if I had SEEN the gun...I told them no, but I had knowledge that this person carried an un-registered weapon in his car at all times. (which was true). Before this jealous Ex could get out of my neighborhood, they had the street blocked off, and weapons drawn. Unfortunately..they found no weapon, but it just goes to show what you have to do to get the Police to take action.

Too funny! Unbelievable how the police were suddenly "available" when they heard that the guy had killed the burglers.

Is that a true story?

I would have let the dogs out.

Ed, I got this in a fwd and it said it was a true story.

I couldn't have let my dog "Ernie" out!!!!! They might have hurt him. Climbing in my shed to steal something would be dangerous enough in itself as they may have been hit with rakes, hoes, shovels and things like that. If all else fails I always have my trusty 38.

Hello, is this the FBI?"
"Yes, What do you want?"
"I'm calling to report about my neighbor Billy Bob Smith! He is hiding marijuana inside his firewood."
"Thank you very much for the call, sir."

The next day, the FBI agents descend on Billy Bob's house. They search the shed where the firewood is kept. Using axes, they bust open every piece of wood, but find no marijuana. They swore at Billy Bob and left.

The phone rings at Billy Bob's house.
"Hey, Billy Bob! Did the FBI come?"
"Yeah!"
"Did they chop your firewood?"
"Yep."
"Happy Birthday, Buddy"
