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...

I witnessed a hit and runCar came speeding round the corner, through red lights and smashed into a woman, throwing her into the air and just carried on down the road. I called 999, and so did lots of other people, and I heard later that she'd survived with, amazingly luckily, just a broken nose.
Then the police called up, asking for witnesses to appear at the trial (they caught up with the car, joy-driving drivers still inside, shortly afterwards). Six months later, I'm contacted and given a court date to appear as a witness.
The day before the court date, I get another phone call from the police, informing me that the hearing's been postponed. Why? Because nobody bothered to tell the accused when the hearing was.
That was about four years ago now. and I've heard nothing more about it. As far as I know, the "postponed" trial/hearing/whatever never happened.
