My friend sent me this article and said it’s from Australia. I don’t know if it actually happened, but it would be awesome if it did:
Round Like a Shot
Going to bed the other night I noticed people in my shed stealing things.
I phoned the police but was told no one was in the area to help. They said they would send someone over as soon as possible.
I hung up. A minute later I rang again. “Hello,” I said. “I called you a minute ago because there were people in my shed. You don’t have to hurry 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.”

Great story – thanks for highlighting that one! Shame that it looks like it isn’t entirely true, but it’s still just as funny

I’d be surprised if it were true, but I’d love it if it were! Hilarious.

Ha! This is funny as hell! I ought to use it next time my cousin’ kissing neighbor parks his pickup on the grass I’ve so carefully cultivated in front of my house.
