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...

Dumfries story No. 1Dumfries is a fairly violent place for such an ordinary Scottish town. A mate of mine lives near there, and he and his brother had been on a night out a good few years ago. On the way back home, they decided to "drive once round the town to see if there's any fights".
As it happens, there was. They came upon an altercation (probably in the Whitesands for those of you who know the town), where one bloke was receiving a serious kicking from a group of neds. They stopped at a safe distance, watched briefly, then drove off and went home.
They read in the paper a few days later that a murder investigation had commenced because the guy had died from his injuries. I don't think they came forward as witnesses though, as the blokes responsible were soon caught.

WhitesandsOh, what a wonderful place it is of a night. Or of a day to be truthful. We used to enjoy driving past the neds and boy racers with Beethoven blasting from the car.
