They should just prosecute these idiots not warn them.

You're lucky it was only one call. A few weeks ago, a kid in Ontario (Can) playing with an old discarded cell phone dialed 400 times the emergency 911 in the same day. Since the phone had been deactivated, the parents thought he could play with it. They didn't realize the emergency number is never deactivated on a cell phone.

Did it make brrrrrreaking news?

She diservingly got the cold shoulder from the police. Which is good, because the case was cold, so they'd never find the thief.

She was upset because they also stole the coins she used for eyes and the tea spoons she used for arms.

How do you steal a snowman?

put it on a sledge? I would have thought it's pretty simple. Shame we rarely have the right snow for snowmen....
