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...

A touch of the 'what ifs'For those of you "I'm a big bloke and I just watched him do it" types (me too, I'm dismally ashamed to admit), take the following to put things in perspective:
A friend of mine (sadly now no longer with us) was in the SAS and was generally extremely unforthcoming with stories. However, one day, on a stopped chairlift, he recounted how he and his patrol had been on a live exercise (as in carrying real guns with real bullets) in the merrie english countryside. Whilst pretending to be bushes somewhere, they heard the unmistakeable report of an AK going off in a nearby town.
Thinking (in hindsight, probably quite rightly) that the police would better be able to deal with one reported gunman than 5, they stayed put and listened to events unfold.
So that's how Michael Ryan managed to shoot up a small town within earshot of a tooled up SAS squad.
Bit hard to make eye contact after that one.
