Omaha "Gun Bounty"
armed and humorous:
I have a plan. I go buy a whole bunch of cheap guns, something less than $500. Then I file the serial numbers off of them and call the cops anonymously on myself. I'll be rich!

At first, I thought this was a joke. I sure hope Casady doesn't find out about it! I'd be interested to hear if anyone actually calls in a tip and what the outcome is from it. I guess, if it is a stolen gun or helps the cops find some scum bag robber, rapist, murder type by tracing it somehow, it wouldn't bother me too much that the guy who had it got caught (unless he was unaware of its history and otherwise innocent). I do see a lot of potential for abuse, not to mention the cost to the city and the money going to someone who is probably just as much a criminal as the guy he turns in.
By the way, in case anyone was wondering, my profile graphic is my son's artistic conception of me. It's not too far off, but I sure look grouchy. I'm not usually, but this came from a cartoon strip he and some friends were doing on line some time ago.

Some of the comments here are unbelievable. This is a good program that helps solve crimes because it's extremely hard to get people to give tips to the police because they don't want to look like snitches.

Structure and Funding of Crime Stoppers
Crime Stopper Programs are organized as a not for profit organization (Charity). A civilian community board of directors provides direction as to the financial and promotional activities of the program. The board of directors enhances the community involvement aspect, and its function is vital to the programs success.
The Crime Stoppers program is funded by private donations and fund raising. NO TAX DOLLARS are involved. The reward money paid out by the program is from the fund raising and donations from concerned citizens and businesses.
