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...

Gun CrimeWorking in a well known London Armoury in the late 80s, one Saturday afternoon I had a visit from 2 blokes in their mid 20s. They were asking about this and that, they'd obviously spent the lunchtime in the pub, and they were taking the piss out of the Gat Gun. The Gat Gun is the lousiest excuse for an airgun. It has a range of about 5 yards, the most proposterous loading mechanism, and is incredibly cheap (about £12 at the time). The successor to the pistol was the Gat rifle, a large version that was really an attempt to make a poor gun look even more pathetic. It worked, and in all my time there I never sold one. Anyway, these 2 guys were asking if it would kill someone. One was arguing it wouldn't when I said it would. If I hit them with the butt hard enough around the head it'd kill them.
Fast forward what must have only been weeks later, and guess who should appear on Crimewatch for armed robbery. I did the just thing, and phoned up. If they hadn't taken the mick I might have let them off...
