You called 911 to thank them? What an idiot!

Did 911 get mad that you called them for a non emergency? I understand
you wanted to thank them, but from what I know, they don't like that...

I don't think he called them. I think the security system did. You
open the door and then disable the alarm, which he couldn't do because
it was frozen. I don't know if that constitutes a false alarm or not,
but I can tell you that I certainly wouldn't want my house to be that
cold *inside*. He called them afterward to thank them for a quick
response.

Yes, he did call them as you noted in your last sentence. I don't
think calling 911 for that is something that they approve of- it's
suppossed to be used for emergencies. He would have been better off
taking them some doughnuts with a quick note.

Depends on the locality. If it's a big city where they're constantly
swamped with calls they have one attitude. In rural areas where calls
are relatively infrequent they have another.

Gratitude is never out of style and is appreciated by most folks.

J. Clarke,

Around here it's a super rural slow poke, not street lights, no sidewalks
backwoods kinda/sorta town.

They're a great bunch of men!

9-1-1 didn't mind in the least!

Cops around here would just take him to jail on the principle that he will
end up there sooner or later so they might as well do it while they are
there and save gas.
