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...

Shoplifters in Sainsbury'sI foiled many a would-be shoplifter in my time as a shelf-stacking/floorboy/warehouse monkey in a small Sainsbury's. I was based in the Beers, Wines and Spirits (BWS) dept so most of the junkies would come my way looking to rip the security tags off a bottle of Jack Daniels or batteries, but a lot of the time they would just leg it with the tag still attached.
The guards were useless so on more than one occasion I too legged it out after them, fortunately never being attacked and always bringing back the goods...one time I even received a round of applause from some tourists. Which was nice.
I was fortunate on one occasion, I caught up with the guy, took the Jack Daniels and the sushi(!) off him, and he started to go for me...and was promptly slammed into a wall by two of the 6 policemen who'd seen us and had come bundling out of their meat wagon. Good timing lads!
I eventually stopped chasing them and just approached them in the shop and told them to piss off. It's amazing how much a junkie will plead his innocence despite the fact I stood and watched him rip the tag off the bottle. Even more so when it's still stuck to his fingers...
