HOW TO CALL THE Lisbon POLICE WHEN they are busy! 

 

Huck Eck, an elderly man, from Lisbon, Maine, 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. Huck 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?"

He said "No," but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me.

 

Then the police dispatcher said "All patrols are busy. You should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available" 

Huck said, "Okay."

He hung up the phone and counted to 30. Then he phoned Lisbon's Finest again.

"Hello, I just called you a few seconds 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, the dogs are eating them right now." and he hung up.

 

 

 

Within five minutes, six Police Cars, a SWAT Team, a Helicopter, two Fire Trucks, a Paramedic, and an Ambulance showed up at the Ecks' residence, and caught the burglars red-handed.

 

 

One of the Policemen said to Huck, "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"

Huck said, "I thought you said there was nobody available !"
