If you saw someone stealing something and you were the only person, would you report them?

[Toad-1]

You just happened to be the only witness to someone stealing something... will you report them or what would you do?

If I were armed and there are people around , yes.
If I were not armed , and there are people around , still yes.
If I were not armed , and there are no one around , I will remember her features and report him/her to the police.

It depends on what they were stealing, where they were stealing it from, and why they were stealing it. If it was someone stealing some food from a store out of pure necessity, then no I wouldn't report them.

If they were trying to steal a store or whatever, I wouldn't report them.
But if they were trying to pick-pocket a stranger I'd shout: "Hey fellow, watch out someone, is trying to reach for your wallet".

[Account]

Oh crap, the comma didn't belong there but w. e...

[linkywinky]

If it was something from a store I'd probably just shrug it off and carry on. But if they were like, pick-pocketing then I would definitely draw attention to their act.

[MeganTron]

No I don't dont do hat kinda stuff. i let people live if you wanna steal cool as long that someone doesn't steal from me it's cool.

[Toad-1]

Why wouldn't you report them?

[MeganTron]

Cuase i'm not snitching.. No for real just leave them. None of my bussines its shitty for the item owner but yea.

[Toad-1]

is it because you're afraid the thief or thieves may hurt you?

[MeganTron]

Well I don't wanna start a fight

[Toad-1]

cops, may still try to talk to you if he gets caught, how would you feel about that?

[MeganTron]

No they won't cause I didn't see anything.

[Toad-1]

so you would just say that to the cops?

[MeganTron]

They wouldn't ask me anything and if they caught him red handed i would be unnecessary. So unless the thief says i saw him steal anything (which i doubt he would) they're not gonna ask me anything.

[Klaatu51]

in both cases i will be beaten up

-if i stopped the thief, then he would beat me up
-if i didn't stop him, then the victim would beat me up

It depends who it is and what they stole. If it was a teenager I would leave them alone. If it was an older person I would report them.

[yoyito92]

If it happened at your families house i would report them myself. Stealing is no bueno!

[Prof_Don]

Depends on what it is. If it's something food-wise, I'm not going to report them. They may be in hard times and could be in need of food.

[Anonymous]

If they're not stealing from me or someone I know, then no I would not.

[Vivaldi]

A cheap food being stolen from a supermarket won't harm the supermarket. They make a huge amount of money so that cheap food being gone won't chance anything

[Kris85]

Nahhh I don't get into other peoples business.

[Anonymous]

It depends on who it is and who's the victim.

[Toad-1]

it has to be someone you know for you to report them?

[Toadette]

Nah. They probably need it.

[tenofthepeaks]

no, i wouldn't.

[Toad-1]

Why wouldn't you report them?

[tenofthepeaks]

anything goes in life...

[Toad-1]

if it was happening to a friend or relative would you still not report them?

[tenofthepeaks]

yes, i would.

[Anonymous]

Kick them in the throat and then report them.
