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...

Drunk and disorderlyMy ex works in a pub in central London and so we used to see all the usual junkies, crackheads, thieves and colourful street characters who make life in the metropolis so refreshing and vibrant. As the pub is near a police station, she's on good terms with the local bobbies and they'll often send someone round in the event of a fight, theft or threat, particularly if she's working on her own. One night I was there waiting for her to finish, and the bar was full of extremely drunk guys - normally not a problem, but these guys were totally wasted, getting abusive - I was sure it was going to kick off, and was getting concerned for her and my safety. The ex, however, looked relatively unfazed by it all and went into the office to call the police station.
"Hello?" I heard her say. "Police? Yeah, can you send a van round please? You need to pick up the day shift, they've been here since six."
Cue lots of suddenly sheepish but still drunk off-duty coppers being led away by their uniformed colleagues.
