Yes but not a very serious one.
A friend and I were browsing a book stall at an exhibition when we saw a man standing near us flick through one or two books then wander away with one. We immediately told the stand staff, and could still point him out in the crowds, but I don't know the outcome.
I also called the Fire Brigade and Olice when I saw smoke coming from a letter-box. I was sure of who was responsible - three boys loitering next to the box a few minutes previously - but I heard nothing from the Police. The Police waited a week before their appeal for imformation, with telephone number, in the local paper. I rang and told the receptionist I could have given them a description on the day. Especially as one of these lads was blonde with a distinctive hair-cut.
