Moneywise: When someone called 911 on brothers Parez and Jakkhi Reese for their lemonade stand, police and firefighters didnâ€™t shut them down. Instead, they became customers and generated around 0 in sales in under 30 minutes.

I can tell you a good portion of complaints we received were neighbors trying to use the government to get back at someone for some slight they had experienced.
