You own a car.
Your car gets stolen.
You do not report the theft of your car because either you care very little about your car and don't use it often or it was left unsecured.
Your car is used to commit a criminal offense.
The driver of the car is unclear, all the police know is that your car was involved.
You recover your car.
Police impound your vehicle for the previous criminal offense.
Nostalrius staff won't always be able to tell whether an account has been compromised or not and in the end they don't owe you shit if you let your account get stolen in the first place.
Actually, at least in my specific case, I reported it immediately and was told "ok good, glad things are under your control still" and then banned. So I guess it was a good cop rogue cop scenario.
Well, in real world scenario, the police would still keep the item/property on lock down until further investigation was completed and there was proof to your story.
OP story scenario where the victim is the culprit:
"Hey, it smells like a freshly baked batch of cookies in here and I don't want to be pinned for cooking meth" Calls cops. "Someone broke into my house and used it as a meth lab." Cops investigate and find no evidence of tampering, no fingerprints, nothing just remnants of a meth lab. Reporter goes to jail.
Car story:
You committed the crime, sped off after hitting my aunt Sally. You call in the car stolen, but have no alibi on your whereabouts when the crime occurred. They impound the car to print it and see if someone else was driving your car. No evidence? you're screwed.
