Milly is 82 years old. She lives with her husband Tom. He is 84 years old. They have been married for 60 years. Kids are grown up and this old couple live alone. They are healthy and have enough money so having a happy life.
One night after dinner, they went to bed. They fell asleep quickly. At midnight Milly heard some noise in their garage. She woke her husband Tom and asked him to go and find out.
Tom woke up from bed and turned on the lights. He went near the garage and heard some thieves were trying to get into the garage. They were struggling to broke the garage door open.
Tom immediately called the 911 and asked the police to come immediately to stop these intruders. The police took Tom’s address and said there was no one available and will send some police officers when they become available.
Tom hung up the phone and waited for 5 minutes. The thieves were still struggling to break open his garage door.
Tom then called the 911 again and said there is no need to send the police any way since he shot dead all the 4 intruders.
Within 3 minutes there were 4 patrol cars with officers, 2 ambulances, an emergency medical team and a police helicopter showed up.
The officers arrested the thieves.
Milly was proud of her husband Tom’s clever idea.
Tom seems a wily and resourceful man knowing what works best with the law enforcement agencies! A good one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Mr. KP.
DeleteIs it a true incident? If yes, shame on the concerned department. I thought only in our country that department has a lethargic attitude. If it is an imaginary one, hats off to the smart old man 's presence of mind
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Gowri. This is not a true incident. It is just a jovial short story. If this was true, the old man would be arrested for false reporting of a shooting incident.
DeleteGood thinking, indeed.
