Apparantly due to previous incidences, when our phone number rings 999 an alert should come up on the screen in the call centre place saying that this'll be a proper incident and not someone mucking around with a cat stuck up the tree, so we should get the police coming round quicker than they normally would.
15 minutes later . . .
It's possible that they've gone to the other places to try and catch them though . . .
We weren't in emmediate danger but they're trying to catch these people as quickly as possible. They never did come - they possibly went to other places they are known to be, but someone rang up later on, saying someone will visit us tomorrow.
