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...

Local papers in 'bored journos' SHOCKER!The other year my mum turned out for the annual street fair held in our nearest town in West Suffolk, she was mildly irritated by two gaggles of spotty 12 and thirteen year olds chucking chips at each other swearing a bit, so told them to piss off, which they did.
Imagine my surprise when, a week later the following eadline appeared in the local paper :
'GANG WARFARE BLIGHTS STREETS OF SUDBURY'
The headline roared, before going on to relate, in lurid(well, lurid for a once-weekly local rag) detail as to how the Sudbury Christmas Street Fair had been ruined by gangs engaging in 'running battles' all through the town centre, bemoaning at great length the fact that the local coppers were busy elsewhere dealing with 'minor traffic offences'.
Turned out they were busy nicking a member of their staff for drink-driving..
