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...

Amusingly enoughunderpasses, well, under bridges and arches have ALWAYS been this grim. The triumphal arch in ancient Rome was plagued by scum and prostitutes, and became synonymous with vice. The old latin word for an arch is 'fornix' - and yes, this is where the word fornication comes from. The association was so strong that when the next triumphal arch was built it was called an 'arcus' or a bow (like a rainbow - aww) by the authorities - hence the word we use today - arch! Mmmm, ancient rebranding...
