Let me guess, she then picked her kids up from cricket practice and called 999 from a Wimpy's drive though because her burger wasn't "perfect"?

Alright I looked at the picture of the bunny, it had cute ears. Who cares about floppy ears, that's an adoreable bunny.

They can trace the numbers, right? And they have recordings, so they can at least compare it to the household residents.

Fine them!!

Reminds me of the time the goofballs next to my parents called the cops....over a broken flower. Yes, seriously. Never mind that a deer, rabbit, or other assorted critters could have done it. Instead, we got blamed for it...even though their entire yard is encircled with an 8-foot fence, various security cameras, motion detectors, etc. I'm sure if they could, they'd put a security guard back there too. Anyone want to guess what their sole "proof" was? A photo of my brother, sitting on the couch in *our* house. Yes, that's right--she just admitted that not only was she a peeping tom, but had aimed her camera through *our* window. Needless to say, the cops were *not* amused...and fined her for filing a false report. Ever since then, quite a few people refer to the police as "the Dahlia Squad"

We tend to be a little more subtle than that.

We just remove the telephone service via the provider!

....Out of curiosity, what happens if someone from America goes to England and, in an emergency, dials 911 rather then 999?

I've spoken to the operators about this, a lot of the time it's answered.

Oh, okay. I was hoping it would be like that. I'd hate to go somewhere on my many travels and wind up either not knowing or typing out the wrong number for Emergency.

Eh, I wouldn't worry about it, throughout all of europe 112 *will* work, just remember that.
