Because his family didn't want to be disturbed by one of the best parts of the vidscreen program the picked up the receiver without answering and left it off the hook (iirc). The automated police station processed him as indigent and a sociopath. He was ushered off to holding. Since he had used his one phone call, he needed to wait for his family to call the police that he was missing. But they never did.
Is that a Bradbury it sounds similar to his style and I would love to read it sometime
