> 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
