should crime be reported?
Do you believe that justice should be served at all times? Or is it circumstantial? Would you inform the police if you knew of someone comitting a serious offence, drug dealing, money laundering etc... or leave them to get caught and keep quiet? What about if you got a reward? Would you be tempted then?

Hi All, I was divorced 12 years ago. Due to him being made bankrupt, I was left to pay off all the joint debts. It took 8 years to clear them.
