George Phillips , an elderly man, from Meridian,
Mississippi,was going up to bed, when his wife told him that he'd left
the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom
window. 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 your
house?" He said "No," but some people are breaking into my
garden shed and stealing from me.
Then the police dispatcher said "All patrols are busy. You should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is
available.."

George said, "Okay."

He hung up the phone and counted to 30. Then he 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 have to worry
about them now because I just shot and killed them both, the dogs are
eating them right now." and he hung up.

Within five minutes, six Police Cars, a SWAT Team,a Heli
copter, two Fire Trucks, a Paramedic, and an Ambulance showed up at the
Phillips' residence, and caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the Policemen said to George , "I thought you
said that you'd shot them!"
George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"

(True Story)
Don't mess with old people.

Sadly, there is a lot of truth in this.

A lot of truth to it in small town Alabama. Everyone I know owns and uses a gun. We usually call an ambulance or if we call the police we tell them an ambulance and paramedics will also be needed. This bud is for ol george from Mississippi

Sad but true in a lot of cases. They don't seem to care that people are stealing from you they'd rather ler them get away and hope to catch them later. Of course you usually don't get your property back.

Gotta love the old boy's thinking!

There is some doubt as to whether this ever actually happened. Gotta love the old guy's
thought to try it, though.
