@Ray of Kingwood, Texas was going up to bed when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the garage, which she could see from the bedroom window. Ray opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the garage stealing things.He phoned the police, who asked “Is someone in your house?” and he said “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.Ray said, “Okay,” hung up, counted to 10, 3 times (he had his slippers on so only had his fingers to use), and phoned the police again. Hello, I just called you a minute ago because there were people stealing things from my garage. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now because I’ve just shot them.” Then he hung up.Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response Unit, and an ambulance showed up at Ray's house and caught the burglars red-handed. One of the Policemen said to Ray: “I thought you said thatyou’d shot them!”Ray said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!” 4951
