Police Response Time

A man was going up to bed, when his wife told him he'd left the light on in the garden shed -- she could see it from the bedroom window.

 

He replied that he hadn't been in the shed that day. He looked himself, and he could see there were people in the shed nicking things, so he rang the police.

 

They told him that no officers were in his area, so no one was available to catch the thieves. The man said "OK", hung up, counted to 30 seconds, and rang the police again.

 

"Hello. Remember I just rang you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed stealing things? Well, you don't have to worry about them now, I've just got my rifle and shot them."

 

Within five minutes there were half a dozen police cars in the area, an Armed Response Unit, Incident Team, the whole works.

Of course, they caught the burglars in the shed red-handed.

 

One of the policemen said to the man: "I thought you said you'd shot them!"

 

"And I thought you said there was no-one available!" he replied.
