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...

Witness? Technically supposeI did witness it..
from the passenger seat... and the driver seat... and the rear seats.
As a younger Thatguy, I worked for a local second hand car dealer, who also did accident repair for the local police force & ambulance service. (The same place that I left after being "greased")
When I first arrived, I was intrigued to see a Ford Sierra Cosworth in full marked up police clobber. The engine, gearbox and front suspension was missing. Turns out it had hit something up the arse and needs a new front end. Once this work was done, we rebuilt the car and gave the local station a ring to advise them it needed roadtesting.
"Sure thing" said the gullible officer. "Just tell me where you'll be driving it and ensure that you do not speed, use the lights or siren or generally behave as though you're in a police car"
"OF COURSE" says we "We're completely trustworthy"
The "peace" of the M4 was shattered that afternoon as we took turns giving the car the full beans, blues and twos going and cars diving out of our way. Those Cosworths didn't half shift you know?
