How to call the police

Courtesy of Rico's father, this:

Phillip Hewitson, an elderly man from England's crime capitol Norfolk, 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. Mr. Hewitson opened the back door to 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?"
Mr. Hewitson said: "No," but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me."
The police dispatcher said: "All patrols are busy. You should lock your doors and an officer will be along during the week when one is available."
Mr. Hewitson said: "Okay." He hung up the phone and counted to thirty. Then he phoned the police again: "Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago, because there were some people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now, because I just shot them."
He then hung up. Within five minutes six police cars, a SWAT team, a helicopter, an anti-terrorist team, two firetrucks, a paramedic, and an ambulance showed up at the Hewitson`s, and they caught the burglars red-handed. One of the policemen said to Phillip, angrily: "I thought you said you'd shot them!"
Mr. Hewitson replied: "I thought you said there was nobody available!"

The lesson here: Don't mess with old people.

Rico says that his father, being a clever man, could pull this off, while he, being an impatient man, would shoot them...
