But if you don't report they don'y know that they should be doing
something. If you report and get a crime number they have to do something
otherwise their stats start to look bad...

A report of say criminal damage by person or persons unknown doesn't
require instant response from the Police. A report of persons acting
suspiciously inside a building when there shouldn't be any body in that
building does and will more often than not get it.
