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...

You know, if you think about it......you could probably fill pages with the various crimes you've witnessed and not really thought about. Here's my attempt. Oh God... where to start?
I have witnessed, and quite probably participated in at least some of:
- Drugs being purchased (and sold)
- Drugs being used (many counts to be taken into consideration)
- Vehicles driven under the influence of drugs (thought not alcohol)
- Alcohol being sold to underage people
- Tobacco being sold to underage people
- Actually, pretty much anything with an age restriction... well, you get the picture.
- Many and varied assaults (I've been on the receiving end of a few too)
- Shoplifting (In shops I didn't work in)
- Theft (in shops I DID work in)
- Breaking and entering (OK, abandonded buildings, but it still counts)
- Blasphemy (see first line of this post)
- Speeding - on cars, motorbikes, vans, cycles, skis, boats. If it moves...
- Criminal damage - thought I'm sure he didn't think that dancing on the roof of the car would leave a dent?
- Various types of aiding, abetting and counseling regarding the commission of a crime
- Failing to purchase a television license
- Sticking postage stamps upside down (Yeah! Take that Ma'am!)
- Breaching copyright (remember - home taping is killing music, kids)
- Numerous health and safety violations
- Public nudity (there's one there for a future QOTW)
- Animal cruelty
- Mobile phones being turned on before the engines have been stopped (and seatbelts being unfastened - Why dammit? Does it kill you to wait that extra 30 seconds?)
- Smuggling (green channel for me!)
...I suspect there might be a few more too!
On the plus side, I'm very happy that I've never actually witnessed a murder, child abuse (beyond the occasional slap), rape, terrorism, kidnapping, riots, hijacking, espionage, or indeed treason (unless you count the stamp thing above).
Hmmm. Just realised that I could probably have started answering QOTWs a little earlier than now!
Belated *pop* from the last post!
