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...

terrible pickpocketing attemptYears ago, I was with my dad on the tube. I was about 19 at the time, a student on a break, and had met him after a meeting, where he'd untypically had to wear a suit and carry a briefcase.
I'm sitting down and he's standing, jacket over arm, case between legs. We don't look like we're together.
A guy of about my age, actually quite cute, gets on the train and stands in front of my dad. The train moves. It gets to the next stop, and jolts slightly, as they are wont to do. However, the bloke's reaction to it is way over the top, as he lurches forwards and very obviously tries to pickpocket my dad's jacket pocket. It was such a fumbled attempt, my dad starts laughing. So do I.
The kid tried to get off the train but was hemmed in, and so had to put up with five minutes of me and my dad laughing at his poor attempt and giving him pointers whilst the rest of the carriage started joining in.
Poor bloke was redfaced when he ran off at the next stop.
