A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.

This, except call 9-1-1 and sound alarmed that someone is breaking into your neighbor's house. Conveniently fail to mention that your neighbors house is abandoned and that these people are there all the time. The fuzz will send 20 cop cars, a K9 and a helicopter. They will 100% catch the folks who are in there. They may or may not get charged, those charges may or may not stick, but I assure you these people will find somewhere else to go.

hmm I'm no expert but making a false 911 call sounds like a pretty bad idea to me

If they would send 2 guys over when you said " there are vagrants living in this abandoned house", it wouldn't come to this.

In any case, I don't advocate lying. Wait until you see them break in the house, call the cops and tell them someone's breaking in the house.

you actually explicitly advocated lying

Calling 911 to report a B&E when people are actively B&E'ing is not a false 911 call. It doesn't matter if the house is abandoned or not, the laws are the same. Not mentioning that it is abandoned is in fact a good idea.

you are deliberately deceiving the emergency services in order to provoke an emergency response to something that isn't actually an emergency, "technically none of my statements were false" is a garbage excuse
