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...

not a crime as such, though my not stopping wasAbout 10 years ago in what seems like another life, I bought a Minsk, a Russian motorbike of striking shitness, and rode it around Vietnam and Laos. I didn't have any insurance, helmet, or license for that matter, and had been warned of the police tendency of arresting everyone at the scene of an accident regardless of guilt. All of which doesn't justify the fact that on a steep mountain road on a rainy night, I watched as the minibus I was trailing lost control and skidded off the road into a black ravine, and I just kept on riding. I still feel like a cunt about it.

Vietnam...I cycled round Vietnam for charity in November and fortunately missed the rain. But those hills are steep and those ravines bloody steep and deep! We nearly lost Rob down one after he collided with a piglet, possibly the piglet from Winnie the Pooh. From that day forward, everytime we ate pork (although it was probably dog), we'd say grace and thank Rob for his generous offerings.
Shit thing about Vietnam is that whoever has the bigger vehicle in an accident, pays the bill. We had to have a whip round to help our bus driver pay for his bills after a drunk scooter rider and he had a head-on which resulted in multiple fractures for the rider.
