OK, this is an instance but I have seen things like this happen a lot lately.
Code:

A diamond battle arrow streaks into you from the south!
You yell 'Help! I am being attacked by someone!'
Destrivai's ambush injures you.
You run southwest.
A Valley
            In the middle of this valley sits a comfortable, well build
   ?ssss   cottage.  The windows are smokey and the door stands open.  A few
   sv*vs   sheds line the walls of this valley and a large well is located a
   sssss   bit away from the cabin.   It's snowing, well past freezing,
           and windy.  
Obvious exits: n e s w nw ne sw se

outlaw memory
Thinking back, you remember witnessing the following crimes...
[HP: 57%] [ME:  7%] [PE:  8%] R: The Dragon Sea
First of all, I don't remember the attempted murder/mugging/whatever. And let's say that because he was camoed when he attacked I didn't see it coming. But then I ran at some NPCs and he was still shooting me arrows(and I could see his name), shouldn't I(and perhaps the NPCs) be able to report him for his crime?
