How do you get the police to take you seriously?

Going to bed the other night, I noticed people in my garden shed stealing things. I phoned the police but was told that there was no-one in my area to help. They would send someone over as soon as possible.





I hung up. A minute later, I called again, "Hello", I said, "I called you a minute ago because there were people in my shed. You don't have to worry now, because I've shot them".





Within minutes there were half a dozen police cars in the area, plus helicopters and an armed response unit. They caught the burglars red-handed.





One of the officers said, "I thought you said you'd shot them", to which I replied, "I thought you said there was no-one available".
