In this case, police in Connecticut say 46-year-old Michael Gorneau accidentally dialed 911 as he allegedly stole 700 pounds of scrap metal from a local business that makes metal doors, according to the New York Daily News.
Police say Gorneau made the accidental call while shimmying under a fence as he tried to make off -- and when all they could hear was rustling sounds, they assumed there was a medical emergency and sent someone to check it out.
What they found was an emergency all right -- an emergency of stupidity.
