Woman Calls 999 To Report Theft Of Snowman

The emergency services are used to receiving very strange calls but even they were shocked when a woman dialled 999 to report the theft of her snowman.

Kent police have released a transcript of the call in which the woman tells the operator: “There’s been a theft from outside my house.

“I haven’t been out to check on him for five hours but I went outside for a fag and he’s gone.”

The operator asks “Who’s gone?” the woman, replies: “My snowman.

“I thought that with it being icy and there not being anybody about, he’d be safe.”

The incredulous operator then asks: “Do you mean an ornament?” The woman replies: “No, a snowman made of snow, I made him myself.

“It ain’t a nice road but you don’t expect anybody to nick your snowman.”
