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...

Gawd Bless ManchesterThe old Ian Skelly dealership if anyone remembers it. A couple of scrotes, sorry nice young chaps clad in the finest polyseter, pull up in an MR2, and ask for a testdrive in a GTi. Now we always check the swapper as it'll give you an idea if they're going to be sensible.
Someone driving a 1.0 Fiesta is NOT getting the keys to a VR6. Crash-test dummy I am not.
So, MR2 to GTi is reasonable. They have their test drive, and arrive back at the dealership.
As per standard tealeaf-repelling drills, the young sales lad stays in the vehicle until the driver has got out. Unfortunately, not noticing that he'd left the keys in the ignition. So as YSL heads around the car from the passenger side, scrote dives in and VRooooooM.
Pity YSL was underneath the car at the time, really.
To be fair, he was only under the door getting dragged not under the wheels, but it did make a mess of his suit.
MR2 was nicked of course, and the GTi was last seen heading off towards Enzyme's neighbourhood.
To be fair to Manchester, it's not just Manc scrotes who try similar shenanigans. If you took a high performance Golf or similar out in the late 90s Darrrn Sarrf, and you were a couple of blokes and the sales monkey was a little on the small side, you'd be on a very strictly defined test drive route.
Why? So we would know where to come and find the sales bloke after he'd been twatted and decanted by the roadside.
If the Sales Manager had you clocked as a dodgepot beforehand, I would get a bit of excitement as I'd be about 70 yards behind you trying to keep up.
Exactly what he thought I was going to do... get stabbed to maintain his departmental profit margin?
