Andre Lashley of Diego Martin, Trinidad was going up to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. Andre opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.
He phoned the police, who asked, "is someone in your house?" and he told them no.
Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available. Andre said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.
"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now cause I've just shot them all." Then he hung up.
Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Lashleys residence. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the Policemen said to Andre: "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"
Andre said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"
