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...

From our scabby flat in Aberdeen......I used to sit in the windowsill and people-spot. We lived in an interesting area, so quite a few freaks and nutters could be seen.
One afternoon, I had the pleasure of witnessing a chap almost succeed in crossing the road at a set of traffic lights. He got halfway across and then decided to stop and sit down in front of the line of traffic.
The lights changed, the cars beeped, and the chap refused to move. A tad inebriated, it would seem.
The lights cycled back to red, and then to green again, and by this time the lead driver was getting a little aggravated. To the extreme where he stepped out of the car, calmly lamped the bloke, and then booted him out of the way of the traffic. Not sure, but I think I saw some of the drivers in the following cars applaud.
To his credit, the bloke ambled off in a good natured fashion, nursing a fairly mashed nose as he went.
I went and had a cup of tea.
