jussi pöljänen

Jussi Pöljänen of Suonenjoki 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. Jussi 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?” 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. Jussi said “Okay,” hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again. “Hello. I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now because I’ve just shot all the sons of bitches ! .” Then he hung up. Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Savo residence. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed. One of the policemen said to Jussi: “I thought you said that you’d shot them!” Jussi said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”
