Nope. Fuck them anyway, and fuck any twins of said thieves. Fuck them doppelgangers, and any person resembling them. And any false positives, for that matter.

I, for one, welcome our precog overlords.

So, no, you don't believe in someone being able to reform. The rest was not really necessary.

Let's say that 90% people of thieves successfully reform and become honest people.

Assuming that 1% or less of general population are thieves, it still would mean that a previously known thief has a 10% chance of being 'unreformed', and that they are a 10 times bigger risk than the average person; and it's not prohibited to use that information to safeguard yourself.
