Buffet had great finesse, so do old people...before taking the law into ones own hands, guide the law to the right response and action...here is a true event reported from Meridian, MS..lots of common sense there...HOW TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU’RE OLD AND DON’T MOVE FAST ANYMORE.
>
> George Phillips of 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?” and he said
> “no”. Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should
> simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available.
> George said, “Okay,” hung up, counted to 30, and 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’ve just shot them.” Then he hung up.
>
> Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response Unit, and an

> One of the Policemen said to George: “I thought you said that you’d shot

> George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”

I’m on a first name basis with the Cops who patrol my neighborhood ($750k to get in) and some of the DTs at the Pct. This was a ‘nobody locks his doors’ town but now they tell me they are seeing a steady increase of burglaries by ‘hispanic males’. These break-ins spike every summer now. The appearance of day-laborers mowing folks’ backyards is just a coincidence, I’m sure.
