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...

way back in the distant days of the early ninetiesI used to work in a certain nightclub in south manchester -Fridays- the place was punchup central in any case, but I did have the misfortune one night to see a truly horrifying incident where two battersby-alikes went for it ('are you fooking looking at my boyfriend you slag' etc.). One smashed a bottle and dragged the broken end up and down the other girls leg (she had a really short skirt on). An ambulance was called, the cops arrived and the carpet where the girl had collapsed was literally awash with blood.
Prior to that, I'd been working in another place round the corner from the Hacienda, which was interesting to say the least - the owner was (allegedly) in hock to the doormen for a fair chunk of change for his coke habit, and the doormen themselves were fending off the attentions of another manchester gang who wanted their business.
One of the chefs nearly blew himself to pieces one morning, after it was found the gas had been left on all night in what appeared to be an attempt at torching the place for the insurance, the place was done over at gunpoint at least once (as well as the rival gang coming in several times tooled up and looking for trouble), and shortly prior to the owner doing a runner to the US and the accountant disappearing to the Bahamas, the place was robbed.
The police said they'd be happy to sign off on things for the insurance company... just as soon as the owner could explain how the thieves had had the keys to the front door, the code for the alarm and the combination for the safe. duh.

girls knifing each othersomething similar happened to a girl at my school. She was clubbing in Peterborough (that was her first major mistake), dancing on a mirror-covered podium, and some rancid chavette accused her of coming onto the chavette's bloke. Pushed her, she fell off the podium, breaking bits of mirror in the process, a shard of which cut her leg so badly that her hamstring was severed...
