A man heard a commotion in his backyard one night and looked out to see three men breaking into his tool shed. When he called the police, the dispatcher asked if the burglars were in his home. He said no, only in the shed. He was then told that there were no police available just then, so he should lock his doors and wait, they would send a squad car when one became available.
The fuming man hung up, counted to thirty and called back. He said, "I'm the one who just called about burglars in my yard. No need to send a car, I've just shot them."
Within two minutes, there were three squad cars and an armed response team in his driveway. They arrested the burglars red-handed. One of the officers said, "I thought you said that you had shot them."
The man replied, "I thought you said there were no police available."
