    Hate to break it to you, but in normal circumstances, the cops
    aren't even going to want to show up for a "normal" burglary (well,
    if the person is *in the act* they may head that way). For a B&E
    where the young socialists are no longer on-scene, you have to fight
    with them (the police) to get them to come out at all. 

    Went through this twice in Chicago. 

    Oh, and "be there in 2 seconds". 

    Call for a pizza, call the cops. You'll be well fed when the cops
    show up.
