In a lot of cases you can actually figure out what happened just by analyzing the crash log and looking at the source code, even if you can't reproduce it.

This week, someone reported me a bug which could be described as :" The Control + Shift + T short-cut does not work with the OS version I'm using". It turned out after spending time trying to reproduce the bug on my machine that the Control key was broken on his keyboard...

If you don't provide information on the context, on the way it can be reproduced, then it's most of the times difficult to reproduce the problem.
