So, this guy and his wife are getting ready for bed, and the wife says, "Honey, you forgot to turn the light out in the garage again."
"No, I turned it out when I came in," he replied.
"I don't think you did, because it's on now," she says.
Sure enough, when the man looks outside, the garage light is on. He also sees shadowy figures running back and forth from the garage to the hedge. "We're being robbed!" the man says.
He picks up the phone and calls the police. "Hello, police? Listen, my place is being robbed! Someone broke into my garage, and is out there right now stealing stuff. If you send someone out right away, you can catch them in the act."
The dispatcher says, "Sir, we have no units available at the time. The safest thing to do would be to lock yourself indoors and remain out of sight, and we'll send a unit in the morning to take the report."
"But my garage is being robbed right NOW!" the flustered man says. "Send a unit out, and you can catch them all red-handed!"
"Sir, I'm sorry, but we have no units available at this time. The safest thing to do would be to lock your doors and stay inside."
"All right," the man sighs, and hangs up. He waits a couple of minutes, then calls the police again.
"Hi, this is the guy who called a couple of minutes ago about the guys breaking into my garage. Listen, don't worry about sending out a patrol car tonight. I went out there with my shotgun, and blew them all away. You guys can pick up the bodies in the morning - they're not going anywhere. Thanks, and good night." Click.
About two minutes later, eighteen units converge on the guy's house, lights and sirens blasting. A SWAT van screeches up and begins unloading, and a helicoptor joins in, circling the area with its spotlight. Of course, the police catch the bandits red-handed, and arrest them all.
As the bandits are being led off in cuffs, one of the officers glares at the homeowner and says, "I thought you said you shot and killed them all."
The man looks back and calmly replies, "And when I called, I thought your dispatcher said there were no units available."
