Is anyone in a position to set up a cypherpunks CrimeStoppers mailbox (for use through the remailers)? You could set up a web-page with instructions and a list of crimes for which there are rewards.

Someone already tried that. The cops got a copy of the WWW logs and started investigating everyone who'd looked at the WWW page...

Right - this was an abduction case in Florida, if memory serves.

So at the least you'd need a bunch of anonymous WWW proxies as well.

I don't see that as a problem. I'm about to set up at least one of these myself, and I believe that there are others around - please correct me if I'm wrong. In any case, there needn't be a web page to do the actual reporting. There can be web pages to advertise, and then a simple maildrop for the tips. You could even arrange that the maildrop send everything to a remailer for delivery to a non-advertised address for an extra layer of protection (in case someone forgot to use a remailer to send the tip in the first place, or they screwed up in a way that revealed their identity).
