If I call the police and tell them that I'm suspicious about my neighbor, does that -- by itself -- give the police reason to start questioning my neighbor? I don't think so.

I think you may be confused Bruce. A LEO does not need PC to question someone. They do need PC to effect an arrest, a lawful arrest that is.
There are several ways to build PC, speaking to the subject of concern, speaking to witness, etc. There is a critter out there called resonable suspicion, once we have that then we try and build our probable cause.
