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...

WellI didn't witness the crime in question, but I did aid the police.
I saw that the Air Ambulance had landed on a cricket field I walk past on the way to the pub, and a couple of seconds after noticing it a man bellowed "STOP!" from behind me.
I turn around, and there's a stocky bald bloke running towards me. He waves a police badge at me (turns out he's a plain-clothes officer) and asks me to help him get to the housing estate on the other side of the cricket pitch because he doesn't know the one-way system well.
We run back to his unmarked Ford Focus estate and put the sirens and lights on (they're hidden behind the grill, and the headlamps flash, pretty cool) and tear off, getting to 60 in a 30 zone. It turned out someone had been stabbed, but I never heard anything else about it in the paper or anything.
Anyway, that was a pretty cool experience. Made me think I was the Sweeney.
