Drunken Lorry Driver
We followed a lorry one night who was speeding a little, but he was swerving all over the road, winding lanes with few or no streetlamps. This was just in the next county to where we live, so I waited until we got close to the border (sounds a bit American, sorry) and called my local rozzers.

Me: "There's this lorry, going a bit fast, a bit all over the place, driving it like he's nicked it. Are you interested?"
Police "Yeah, OK, give us the details, we'll look into it."

Thought nothing more and followed it for a few more miles as we went home. My phone rang and I answered it (I'm the passenger) and it was the police

Police: "Alright love, It's Debs here from the police station [honest, that's what she said, remember it really well, like she was my mate] Are you still behind him?"
Me: "Yes, why?"
Police: "We're sending a car to take a look, they might need your help to identify him. What car are you in?"
Me: "I'm in a red saloon, he's the big white artic, swerving like a nutter and going fast, you can't miss it, but I can't see your car..."

Whoosh, out of nowhere, and we had a good mile and a half view of the road, three fast response cars come up beside us as if they'd dropped from the sky.

Police: "I think they're beside you now. Can you indicate which vehicle it is?"
Me: "Yes, it's the big white artic that's going fast and swerving, directly in front of the small blue van that's in front of me."

Anyway, lorry gets pulled after about another two miles- he didn't want to stop- and we carry on to the next roundabout, turn round, where we see two motorway patrol cars waiting to block him off, and go back down the road we've just come up, where we see the three cars, plus a motorbike, and a van and another car coming up. All for one lorry that was a bit swervy. Next morning, this lorry was still parked up on the road, so I can only guess he was drunk or something.

So there's my crime, and if ever the police say that there's no-one available, it's because it's not interesting- they came out in force for a potential chase! Just tell them that your window was broken and the person made off in a fast car or a slightly swervy lorry and they'll be there for you.
