At bedtime, the 81-year-old woman said to her 83-year-old husband:

"I just looked out the window, and I think the garage light is on. Would you get up and turn it off?"

With great difficulty, the old man got out of bed, opened the door, and went outside. He saw five or six burglars tampering with the garage door. He immediately called the police station.

"There are five or six thieves are trying to break in to my garage! It's just me and my wife here alone. Please send police quickly..."

The dispatcher replied, "We've noted your address. No team is available right now, but I'll send someone as soon as I can get a team."

Frustrated, the old man watched the burglars struggling with the garage locks. Two minutes later, he called the police station again:

"There's no need to send anyone now. I saw that it was 5 black guys, and I shot all of them."

The police station erupted in chaos. Within five minutes, a police team arrived in the street with a helicopter, paramedics, three doctors, and two ambulances. Soon, they had the criminals under control.

Later, the team leader casually walked up to the old man and asked:

"I thought you said you shot them?"

...

"And I thought you said no team was available..."
