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...

Car stereosI knew a lad who, sick of having his very expensive car stereos nicked and wouldnt back down on buying them, came up with a rather brilliant plan.
Not willing to compromise on sound quality, but willing to on other things, he had all the seats re-upholstered - in sky blue denim complete with white 'stitch' trimmings, installed a pink furry steering wheel cover and chucked a few teddy bears on the back shelf.
Despite parking it in some of the roughest estates known to chav, he never had so much as a scratch after that. The stereo, now worth at least 4 times the value of the car (its overall value having recently plummeted), remained intact until this very day. The local car thieves were obviously dismissing the car as a girls car, and a very girlie car at that, and wrongly but understandably assuming that the stereo was shit. Genius really.
(Apart from having to be seen in it of course but he got over that, people just assumed it was his girlfriends car we thought).

good ideabut are you sure they assumed it was his girlfriend's car and not that he was flaming gay?
On second thought, I don't think a gay man with any sense of decency would be seen in a car like that.
