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...

Comedy Shoplifter Chasing StoryRight - anyone know Bradford?
Anyone know the retail park at five lane ends with Morrisons and focus?
Well, if you do, you'll understand this better, so skip to the line of stars while i set the scene for everyone else.
Imagine two rows of retail sheds, at right angles to each other, both the same length. Well, at one end of one you have Focus, and at the other end of the other you have the entrance to Morrisons. Both shops as far away from each other as it is possible to be.
This is Bradford
There is a drug rehabilitation place next to focus.
We both got a lot of shoplifters.
********************
Right, everyone back with me?
I hope that was worth it.
So, I chase a lifter with a handful of screwdrivers etc, maybe a tenner, fifteen quids worth? But I quite like chasing shoplifters despite the syringe incident and i'm up for a jog. Off we trot out of the door and he heads over the car park.
At the same time the Morrisons guard, a chap we knew well, was chasing someone who had also robbed something trivial.
You can see this coming can't you? Yup both lifters running towards each other, with me and the guard in Hot Pursuit!.
Neither me nor the guard were on the ball enough to stop each other's lifter as we passed in the car park, but at least we got chance to exchange a cheery 'mornin' as we ran past each other.
Outcome? His got away. Mine got into a car, i didn't let go of him and after being pulled around the car park (which was very busy for a saturday morning so he couldn't beat a hasty retreat) the returning morrisons guard helped me drag him out properly.
One out of two aint bad?
That was funnier at the time, and sounded funnier in my head. Meh i've typed it now - go on give me a click for effort?
