A man looked out his back window one night and saw several men burglarizing his tool shed. He calls 911 for the cops.
Cops: Are they in your house, sir?
Man: No, they're in my tool shed.
Cops: I'm sorry, sir, we don't have the manpower right now. We'll send out men as soon as we can.
Man waits a few minutes then calls back 911.
Man: You don't have to send any officers - I shot all the burglars dead.
Within 5 minutes a swarm of cop cars and ambulances come screeching up, whereupon the burglars are caught and arrested.
Cop: I thought you said you shot them dead.
Man: I thought you said you couldn't come.
Did that really happen? If so, that guy is my hero. Regretfully, he was also probably charged with filing a false report.
