I’ve always wondered how Crimestoppers works, especially how they pay out anonymous rewards. Here’s what their website says:
- The co-ordinator is contacted by the caller (tipster) and arrangements made to pay reward.
- The award (cash) is placed in a plain envelope.
- The caller determines the name to be placed on the envelope.
- Arrangements made, with the agreement of the caller, to deliver the envelope to a certain location.
- The co-ordinator delivers the envelope to the location.
- The caller then picks up the envelope.

oh la la, how ghetto chic
It’s a pretty good bet they’ll figure out who you are if they really want to. I wonder how many criminal masterminds try to call in tips for a reward on a crime they themselves committed. Probably more than a few.
Who funds it? Private donors? Tax payers?
Where does the money come from?
Greed vs. Crime, creepy, creepy, creepy.
of course they do that.. I’m sure our local criminals are making a mint.

If it saves an investigator’s salary for a week why not..
My idea would be to sit around in bars, looking inconspicuous and just listening to conversations to overhear any tidbits that might pay later on.
