When you steal, you devote time (a resource) to taking away something from someone in a community, which could be better spent on more productive actions.
So when you kill a thief, you eliminate a waste of resources which is detrimental to society (time spent by the thief stealing as well as food and drink needed to sustain the thief's life).
Seems it is not wrong to kill thieves and having 'thief hunters' In society would actually be beneficial from an economic viewpoint. Therefore more people should kill more thieves?
Hmm... How strange.
(if any economists out there read this, I'd appreciate your thoughts on this matter)

Interesting, but have you considered the price factor of hiring such hitmen? Depending on said factor, it could turn out both ways, i.e. beneficial or detrimental, to the economy. Just my viewpoint though.
