If the police were looking for a vehicle that was involved in a murder and you believed the vehicle may be on your street or in your neighborhood, would you report it? (this vehicle description was on the news with a photo but the police cannot locate it and are asking the public for help)

33% (1) Yes, I would report it using crime stoppers to remain anonymous
0% (0) No, I would mind my own business
0% (0) No, I would be too scared but if I were braver I would report it to crime stoppers
0% (0) Yes, I would call the police directly or call 911 (although crime stoppers is safer as your name is not recorded)
66% (2) No, I really do not care if it does not involve me, my family and close friends
0% (0) Maybe, but I would need to discuss it with my family to come to a group decision with family input including advice from elders such as parents, grandparents, other wise relatives
0% (0) Never, my area has a ton of crime and to survive we mind our own business

0% (0) Yes, I would report it to the police drug squad and not go through crime stoppers
0% (0) Yes, I would call 911 and would not care if my name got put on their system.
0% (0) No, I would have a heart to heart conversation with another neighbor, friend or relative who is a police officer and provide him or her with this information and they can pursue it. I would not make a formal complaint however.
0% (0) No, I would be too scared and it is safer to keep quiet
33% (1) No, it is not my responsibility
