George Phillips of Grand Falls, NFLD. was going up to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the 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 RCMP and told them that there were burglars in his shed.
The officer asked, "Is someone in your house?" and he said no.
The officer replied 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 in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them cause I've just shot them all." Then he hung up.
Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at George's house. Of course, the police 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!"

I thought this was good thinking on George's part!
