When one officer used the bathroom at my house it was right after the cat used the litterbox, and he kind of smelled afterwards.  Ha ha.  Serves him right.

I came home late one night after being away for a few days and almost immediately the phone rang. I answered it and while I was talking, the display on the phone lit up and showed "extension in use." Since the only other extension was upstairs in my bedroom and I hadn't been upstairs yet, I ended my conversation and left the house, going straight to the police station which is maybe half a mile away. Two officers followed me home and went through the house while I waited outside in the car, nothing was amiss so it was probably just a glitch in the phone. I felt incredibly stupid and told them so, lol, but as one officer informed me, I did the right thing by removing myself from perceived danger and coming to the police. I still felt stupid, though.

OK, ready for a funny.
I was living in Texas. I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bath room. I never turn lights on when I do this, how else would I piss all over the place like every other guy?  Ok, that wasn't the funny part.
So, here I am walking back to my bed and I can see thru the cat door that the garage light is on, I am like hmmm...  so I start walking over to open the door and turn it off and I am about 15 feet away, and the light goes out!!! I didn't have a garage door opener or a light on a timer so, I am like  OH SHIT!!!!!!!   
OK, USA think... You are not working, your radio is out in the car in the garage and you don't want to walk in on something, so call the working guys.  I find the house phone, a cordless. I push the button to turn it on.... nothing  OH FUCK THEY CUT MY PHONE LINE!
So, I go get my cell phone and call 911, I tell them what is going on. I can here half the county comming over the phone as officers, deputies, even two troopers call E/R. This is a cops house getting hit and the suspects are there now, we aren't standing for this in Texas!  I have grabbed my gun, and have snuck out the back door, I am over two fences and have made my way accross the street so I can watch from a good advantage point. By now I can hear tire screeching in the night, engines racing and I hear all of the radio traffic over the phone.
Once I am outside and accross the street, I can see that my garage door is closed, so I am like ok, they are inside, I need to go back to the back side of the house so they can't get out that way, I would hear the garage door open if they open that. So, back over one fence so that I can watch from the neighbors yard. Did I mention I am doing all of this in my boxers and nothing more? Let me tell you, the snake was trying to get in the grass too! OK, so here I am watching and waiting. Yep, half the county did show up. 9 city cars, 4 county cars, and 2 troopers in a pear tree. They make entry, and nothing.... no one. they call me over to ask what was going on, and as I walk into the house I flip the light switch, nothing. hhhmmm,  I try to turn on another light.... nothing. OH CRAP THE POWER WAS OUT!!!!! 
You see, my side of the block was on a different grid then the other side of the block, so when I went outside, I didn't notice that there was no power, and of course the cordless phone wouldn't work without power. My big caper in my own house was that I caught a power failure in progress.  I felt really stupid!!!! And you know that I still hear about that and I have been gone and out of the area for 4 years!!!
