I witnessed a crimeFreddy Woo writes, "A group of us once staggered home so insensible with drink that we failed to notice someone being killed and buried in a shallow grave not more than 50 yards away. A crime unsolved to this day."
Have you witnessed a crime and done bugger all about it? Or are you a have-a-go hero?
Whatever. Tell us about it...

This is, potentially the most depressing and anger arousing QOTWHave mine, with not a happy ending but either a pleasing or frustraing ending depending on your view point.
One morning, may 1991, I was walking to college, through the local park, as you do.
"Oy! What did you do to Pod?!" This guy who had been walking up behind me shouted. My responce was "Eh? What?" since I didn't have the slightest idea of what he was talking about.
Anyway, after a brief disscusion where I told this twat, several times that I didn't know, or care what he was talking about, he sapped be on the back of the head with a bag full of stones, resulting in a very bloody and bad head injury.
Anyway, I gave the police a detailed desription of this fucker, including the logo on the bottom of his shoes as I noticed as I lay on the ground bleeding from my head.
Fast forward again 9 months, were in court, he admits to the crime, and gets... wait for it... 12 hours in an attendance centre.
WTF, indeed.
I was so angry I thought about giving that twat a kicking myself, but he was dead within a year, from a methadone overdose.
Who says only the good die young?

I did.Peter O'Dea.
In one of my classes at college, the following year. Not a bad chap.
It was only his mate that was a bit psycho.
