To paraphrase (badly) something I heard somewhere else, no doubt an 
urban legend.....

Man dials 999

Hello police? There's someone burgling my garage, right now!
Sorry, we don't have any officers available just now - we'll send 
someone round in 30 minutes or so.

Waits a couple of minutes, dials 999 again

Hello police? I was on the phone about my garage a couple of minutes 
ago, don't bother sending anyone out, I shot the guy.

Within minutes a full barrage of police are at the house, catching the 
burglar.

You told 999 service that you shot the burglar??????
999 told me there weren't any police available!

:)
