How to use the map tool to enter location information

Please note that the user locations shown in the "Who's Online" box are randomly modified by a minimum of one mile. Entering your location will in no way allow other users to find your house or where you live. Only the site administrators can access your location information. Several of this site's features are dependant on geographical data. Your location data is requested for user verification purposes. Additionally, if your location has not been entered, you will not be able to receive e-mails alerting you to new reports filed near your location and some of the report search features will not work properly.

Your privacy is our primary concern. We will in no way sell, give away or in any other way allow access to your private information.
