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...

"Hey! Look! He's stealing that car!""Hey! Look! He's stealing that car!" I said to me charming wife as we watched a young man jemmy the door to an Austin Maestro - of all vehicles - jump in and start the engine.
"Hey! Look! It's a police car!" said me charming wife as - by coincidence rather than design - the Thames Valley force's finest came round the corner.
"Hey! Look out for that lamp post!" the young man's accomplice mouthed as he gunned the car down the road, displaying all the driving skills you'd expect from a teenage car thief.
Here's a thing: A car hitting a lamp post at high speed actually does go "SPA-A-A-A-ANG!", a noise which fortunately masked the sound of the young car thief's neck breaking and killing him to death.
Crime: It does not pay.

Epiphany (sp?)Perhaps after stealing the maestro, he had his 'moment of clarity' and immediately killed himself in shame and embarrassment for his poor taste, repenting his sin by "SPA-A-A-A-ANG!"-ing the lamppost for the greater good?
