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...

Grand Theft ...erm... lampI'm useless in an emergency.
Years ago whilst pootling around a large DIY store I was almost spun off my feet by three baseball-capped tracksuits, laden with an assortment of bedside lamps and bombing for the exit.
The speed with which they were departing, plug and flex flailing wildly behind them, told me there was a distinct possibility that a theft was in progress. They didn't even have a carrier bag!
Immediately I entered vigilante mode, threw my shoulders back, puffed out my chest just like superheroes are supposed to do and prepared to give chase.
This was MY moment! Oh yes!
My plan changed somewhat as several wheezing security guards came scrabbling down the aisles, for as they neared the exit I found myself incapable of doing anything more than feebly waggling a delicate little finger in the direction of the long departed shoplifters and in the tiniest of voices I uttered "They went that way..."
