I witnessed a crime
Freddy 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...

Shoplifter
I was walking towards my local Sainsbury's one evening when a young guy, wearing the inevitable baseball cap, appeared pushing a trolley full of electrical goods, closely followed by a Sainsbury's security guard.
The thief turned-round and said 'if you don't stop following me I'll kill you'. The security guard turned straight round and headed back to the store.
And me? I made sure I was looking studiously at all the, by then closed and shuttered, shop windows as he passed me.
I toyed with the idea of phoning the police, but was worried I'd get death threats if it ever got to court!

There is a reason
The security guards (from Mitie, I believe) are told to only pursue if they are NOT going to put themselves in obvious danger, as a few electrical items don't add up to an injured or worse person. Theres enough cameras in Sainsburys stores now (they have all just had a multi-million pound upgrade on the cameras), that any "perp" will be put on a high quality picture ASAP.
