Coopie, you didn't answer my question. Would you report a kid stealing a grape from a grocery store produce aisle?
Circumstances matter, too. A ne'er do well who was loitering and interested in being a gang member might get my reporting dander up...but a man working hard every day and providing for his family? Not a chance.
I have one word for this thread: Rahab.
