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.
