That happened to me at my house in Durham in 2000. I was perplexed, as was
the officer who showed up on my doorstep, since almost my entire block (~25
people) was there for a potluck. At the time the only thing I thought it
might have to do with was a really bad-mannered, disgruntled ex-lover ...

Subject: [internetworkers] Carrboro 9-1-1 Strangeness


| Hey,
|
| Has anyone in the Carrboro/Chapel Hill area ever had the police show up,
answering a 9-1-1 call from your address that you know, for a fact, was not
placed from your address?
|
| This just now happened to me. It also happened to me repeatedly, over the
course of maybe three weeks, earlier this year. The last time it happened, I
called my phone company to explain what was happening and it stopped.
Tonight, it happened again and I wonder if it has anything to do with phone
company stuff. I haven't had a landline here in close to a year. The officer
I spoke to tonight said his dispatcher actually spoke to someone who said
they were at MY address and needed 9-1-1 assistance. I talked with the
officer and explained that nobody here is in any trouble--I'm the only one
here--and he was cool.
|
| Anybody else in the area had trouble like this?
