Going to bed the other night, I noticed people in my shed stealing things. I phoned the police and was told that no one was in the area to help. They said they would try to send someone when available. I hung up. A minute later, I called again. "Hello, I called you a minute ago because there were pepole in my shed. You don't have to worry now, because I've shot them all."

Within minutes, there were half a dozen police cars in the area, helicopters, and a SWAT team. They caught the burglars red handed. One of the officers said "I thought you said you'd shot them all." I replied "I thought you said no one was available."

 

hehehehe

one time some kids stole a 6pack of beer from my parents fridge and my dad colled the cops as they were running away...
10 minutes later 6 squad cars and a helicopter were around the house!!!!! for a six pack of beer!!!!!!!!!!

talk about waste of moola in fairfax co.

 

We used to live in a neighborhood where all of the houses had wood shake roofs, and on July 4 some people in the neighborhood would shoot off firecrackers and bottle rockets; one time a bottle rocket landed on OUR roof and we had to spray it down with a hose.

When we called the police they said that they couldn't send someone to check on firecrackers. When the next firecracker went off we phoned to say that we thought we heard a gunshot. They were there lickety-split.

 

We did the same thing once. We have some real asshole neighbors right across our fence with two obnoxious teenage brats that have loud parties late at night when their parents are gone. One Saturday, we're trying to sleep at 3 AM and they are carrying on, breaking bottles, screaming at the top of their lungs. We call the cops. An hour later, no cops. We call again and say "now there's gunfire." Cops are there in 3 minutes flat, like a SWAT invasion. Dumb kids, all drunk as skunks, try to run away and resist. The cops beat the crap out of them and hauled them all off to jail. It was great.

 

I was that neighbor kid, you weenie.

 

Nice one George, sometimes people need to be taught a lesson

 

It's wonderful that you've figured out that police agencies prioritize calls. But remember, when you make a situation sound worse than it really is, you're taking the police away from someone who IS in a worse situation than you.

Don't even think about saying that, "if the police were really that busy, we wouldn't have had so many there." There are several ways "busy" police end up at another call:
1) Diverting to a high priority call from another call - instead of going where they were assigned.
2) Putting off report writing until later and going to a high priority call.
3) Cutting traffic violators loose instead of writing them a ticket.
4) Off-duty officers respond to high priority calls (if in their police cars).
