as prices rise, snoops & snitches work overtime

contact crime stoppers to report a crime...
like the stealing of a nation

as prices rise, snoops & snitches work overtimefrom nytimes: To gas prices, foreclosure rates and the cost of rice, add this rising economic indicator: the number of tips to the police from people hoping to collect reward money... with tipsters telling operators they need the money for rent, light bills or baby formula. “For this year, everyone that’s called has pretty much been just looking for money,” said Sgt. Lawrence Beller, who answers Crime Stoppers calls at the Sussex County, N.J., sheriff’s office. “That’s as opposed to the last couple of years, where some people were just sick of the crime and wanting to do something about it.”
