Stopped someone being robbed last night...
Discussion
On the train, returning to Birmingham, We had noticed this chavvy looking 35-40 year walking up and down the train carriages.
I saw him then sit at the end of a seat pretending to talk to this lad who was absolutley out for the count, whilst doing this he had his hand in his bag rummaging about, trying to cover his hand (badly) with a newspaper.
I said to my mates he's robbing him so we went over, some other people on the same carriage had also noticed that he was acting strange. When we asked the scrote if everything was ok, he tried to have us on that it "his mate Terry" who was a "crack head" and had just had a hit in the toilets, thats why he was so out of it.
We kept him talking pretending we believed his story and that we would help keep an eye on his "mate", literally 5 mins before our stop the lad came round (mumbling that he was pissed), it was obvious he didnt have a clue who the chav was, nor why so many people had gathered around him!
During this another passenger had told the conductor and when we got off at Dorridge the British Transport Police were just pulling up. The scrote was arrested, and had managed to steal the lads Ipod. He would of lost a lot more if we had not of noticed.
Thats my good deed for the day done, moral of the story, be careful falling asleep drunk on a train on your own!

A mate of mine had this happen to him, he was heading home after a Christmas night out so obviously a bit the worse for wear. He sat down and plugged his iPod in and put it and his phone on the table in front of him then, surprise surprise, fell asleep.
When he woke up he got off the train and started walking up the road, took him a while to realise he still had the earplugs in, but wasn't hearing any music. Some scrote had got up, unplugged his iPod and lifted it and his phone.
Obviously he was a bit pissed off when he realised, but can see the funny side to it now, especially as we don't let him forget it.

Top one, but be careful when it's just YOU and an apathetic bunch of commuters who left their balls at home.
A few months back some loonie was roughing up people on the train coming out of Wimbledon. We thought he was arguing with his girlfriend at first (because he gave her a slap) but then realised she didn't know him at all. He then started on other people around him. As i was down the other end of the carriage (and conveniently had my phone headset on) i felt it was safe enough to call the police. However he then came down to my end to threaten some middle-aged suit who gave him a disapproving look (well this is Surrey) - it didn't help that the operator was trying to establish by postcode, DOB etc. whilst this guy was clearly shouting out to suit 'wtf you gonna do - call the Police'! I think he was stopped by the BTP at the next station but it got pretty hairy - i was desperately looking for anything to lamp him with in case he realised i was talking to the rozzers. I don't use SWT trains past 10pm anymore.

Me and late night trains don't get on. After the time me and a friend had a full on round of warfare with 3 chavs who decided we were toffs
Bl**dy snob! 
I know what you mean about the late night trains... scary as hell.
I also stopped someone being robbed last night.
I stayed in....
All jokes aside, glad you had the balls to keep watch mate.
Years ago i got involved when i pulled a girl away after getting repeatedly punched by a guy. Ended up in hospital for my troubles. The street was really busy with people having all just left a closing nightclub at 3am and noone else stepped in.
Perhaps i was the stupid one.
