I understand that you might not be able to witness the person attempting to pickpocket you, even if you pickpocket them back in the process (Dark alley, element of suprise, their hood up etc - thanks Satanta).

However if this does occur i would know that I had taken an amount of money from the assailant in the process.

My suggestion is that when this occurs you receive a financial statement in your personals to the effect: "You critical Pickpocketed $XXXXXX from an unidentified assailant"

"You took $1,000,000 from an unidentified assailant."

Sounds a bit less retarded than "critical pickpocketed". ;)

Hence my comment of "to the effect" thus permitting someone with a superior way with words, such as yourself, to define it more suitably.
