    Default Police response - a bit of fun

    A man awoke one evening to discover burglers in his storage shed. He immediately called the police and notified them of a possible burglary.

    The operator asked "Are they in your house?"

    He said no... only in the shed in the yard.

    Operator said there were no cars available at the time.... He thanked the operator and hung up.

    He counted to 60 seconds or so and called them again.

    "I just called about a break in at my storage shed ...well, you don't have to worry - I just shot them and they're all down !" - and hung up.

    Within minutes there were 3 police cars and an ambulance as well as a fire engine in his driveway.

    After capturing the burglers red handed, the policeman questioned the home owner - "I thought you said you shot them all !"

    The man answered, "I thought you said there were no cars available!"

    IPAlarms is this a true story or just urban legend stuff
    What a good idea to get the cops movin'
    But I am sure there would have been ramification's for
    stating a false report
    When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all

    No, but I have worked on PIR's in the roof of a bank and the manager switched the wrong area off for me.

    Poor officers, thought they were going to get some action.

    The cops turned up when I was servicing the hold-up button. Control room oversight... whlile the cops were a little annoyed, the client was impressed...

    Ive had this happen on a few occasions. I just say to the bewildered customer, "At least you know the system works!"

    Cool

    This is how I find out who is monitoring the alarm when the client doesn't know. Its amazing how many people cant tell you the name or No of their monitoring centre.
