WTF Stories of the Week

Are we sure this is a real story?

A quick search is finding that this appears to have sourced to UK "humorous news" web site and hasn't been picked up by anything other than the blog Tref linked to.

Lincoln Park is a well populated suburb of Detroit (population over 40,000) so what sent my BS detector tingling is that I find it hard to believe that they only have a single 911 operator who is also apparently manning the front desk at the police station.

Not saying it is false, just that I'm finding it odd that the only published places I can find it are all blogs ultimately referencing the same questionable publication in UK.

Sounds like that tingling may have been coming from someplace else.
