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...

TV Chris Gets Carried Away...Remember numerous years ago when McDonalds were doing that 'who wants to be a millionaire?' scratchcard promotion where hundreds of youths round the land would eat for free 3 times a day...?
One balmy summers evening myself and the good Dr. were getting royally pissed on cheap lager and playing pool.
Feeling the hungry rumblings of our guts, we decided that salty meat sustenance was in order and staggered over to MaccyDs to claim our 206th free burgers of the day. In the corner of the restraunt stood a lifesize, Six foot Chris Tarrant cardboard cut-out, grinning inanely and clutching a cheque for one million pounds. We chomped our burgers and as we left my pal calmly picked up Chris under one arm and we quickly made our exit with our new celeb chum, much to the bemusement of all.
We ran for our dear little lives choking heartily with laughter before dumping Chris safely round the back of a church and returning to the pub to continue getting pissed.
The local paper ran a story some days later with the headline:
'TV Chris Gets Carried Away'
My sister phoned me up in tears of laughter several hours after the heavily witnessed crime was featured in the rag.
"It was you wasn't it" she spluttered..
"What..?"
"Ahahahahaa!!!"
"How do you know ?"
The article went on to describe two long haired gentlemen in distinct Hawaiin shirts stealing Chris in a shocking act of daylight robbery.
Everyone that had seen us that day or indeed knew us in any way instantly knew we were the culprits.
Chris lived in my house for many years until one time I couldn’t face his awful grinning and chuckling any longer and removed his head with a lethal flick of a wet tea towel.
Length - Six foot upright.
