'I found out if you prank call the operator and hang up, they can ring
you right back. I figured out how that worked.
'One day, a female friend from high school had some creep calling her
and breathing heavy. She didn't know what to do and told me at
school. One day we are at her place and the creep called. I wrote to
her to keep him on the line for a few seconds. I then picked up an
extension and in a deep voice said, "Thank you miss. We have traced
the call and know where he is."
'The guy hung up. I used the tone to call right back. I told the guy we
were the police, we had traced the call, knew where he was and would
be sending a squad car around shortly. He was panicking and crying. We
told him if he was truly sorry and never did it again, we'd let him
off this time. He never called back.'
