Cec, an elderly man from somewhere in Queensland, was going up to bed, when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the big shed, which she could see from the bedroom window.
Cec 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?"
Cec said "No, but people are breaking into my shed and stealing from me."
Then the police dispatcher said "All patrols are busy, you should lock your doors and officers will be along when available"
Cec said, "Okay." He hung up the phone and counted to 60, then phoned the police again.
He said "Hello, I just called you a minute ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I just shot and killed them both", and he hung up.
Within five minutes, a helicopter, a fire truck, 2 ambulances, four police cars and a special weapons team raced up to Cec's residence, and caught the thieves red-handed.
One of the policemen said to Cec, "I thought you said you'd shot them!"
Cec replied, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"
