What to Do if You Suspect a Gas Leak: A Cautionary Tale

The noise got louder but I couldn't see anything. I rang my uncle to ask his advice. He said that he thought it could be a gas leak. When I heard this I just panicked! I put the phone down, ran outside, got in my car, and drove to the local police station. I told them about my gas leak but the constable lost his patience with me. He said that I should have phoned the gas company. He wrote his report, then called the gas company for me.
