LONDON - AS ARCTIC blizzards swept across the Garden of England, stranding hundreds in their cars and bringing motorways to a virtual halt in whiteout conditions, Kent police received a strange call on their emergency number.
'I haven't been out to check on him for five hours but I went outside for a fag (cigarette) and he's gone,' said the female caller.
When the operator asked who had gone she replied: 'My snowman. I thought that with it being icy and there not being anybody about he'd be safe.
'It ain't a nice road but you don't expect anybody to nick your snowman,' she added.
Police were most definitely not amused.
'This call could have cost someone's life if there was a genuine emergency and they couldn't get through. It was completely irresponsible,' said Chief Inspector Simon Black.COPIED AND PASTED FROM THIS LINK
