Too risky. Supposing I am going to kill powerful magician for two items 
of great power he possesses?
He may take everything, but it should be noticed. I think there will be 
many bounty hunters, we will not have exp fields so bounty hounting will 
be interesting job for many players. So every crime could be reported 
(maybe not every...) to the bounty hunters... and they would be 
responsible for that.
We have set long time ago that we will not limit it, jsut players will 
limit it...

If you get killed it means you dind't have powerful companions.

Criminal may hunt for money, may hunt for fun. But he must count with 
consequences. Gurads, bounty hunters, people running away, concurention...

Maybe bounty hunters could get the ability to distinguish the criminals? 
The more advanced you the less serious criminals you can find.
