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...

That reminds meI didn't actually see the crime...
I was taking a short cut through the local shitty housing estate one evening. As I passed the pub, a guy came running out with something wrapped in a coat and jumped in a waiting car.
He was closely followed by a guy I recognised as my old karate instructor who was chasing him with a pool cue.
Anyway, the car screeched off down the road with my old karate instructor chasing it and giving it a bashing with his pool cue until if accelerated enough to get away from him.
He spotted me on his way back to the pub so obviously I asked him what was going on. Apparently this guy had come into the pub with a shotgun to threaten the guy my old instructor was playing pool with. So my karate instructor clopped him round the head with a pool cue and chased them off.
It was a normal sort of thing to happen on that estate. Even police vans generally only went there in pairs. One weekend they did a mass raid, sent (allegedly) about 20% of the residents to prison, evicted most of the rest and bulldozed the place. Best thing for it.
