This reminded me of a situation a had a year ago when I found a homeless man burglarizing my house. I spoke very little French at that time, and the Geneva police I had on the phone spoke even less English. The Burglar reached for the phone and offered to speak to them for me! It was his lucky day I suppose.

Looking back, it was really quite comical. But at the moment it was a bit upsetting.
that is so funny! I can imagine the guy helpfully giving information on what he was doing and where you were so the police could promptly respond!
