Anyone out there that does want to steal souls is worth hunting down in my opinion! What reason does one have to do that? Only selfish egotistical Diabolical needs as far as I can figure! So that is why hunt the bastards down!
But that is my pissed off opinion..............
I tend to follow VagrantDreamer on this one. If the soul is purpose then stealing a soul is usurping another of their ability to develope, choose or use that purpose on their own. Sadly billions give their souls to religion or even political organization and what not. While the intentions of any established organization is not necessarily bad, in principle they are taking and molding people's purpose in life according to their paradigm. One who steals souls manipulates others into giving them their souls in exchange for something (salvation, wealth, happiness ect ect). The reason one would want to "steal" souls is gain control over others to amass power, authority, glory, their own agenda (they may think they're helping people by taking control over them). Cults are notorious in the ways they gain control over others - psychology and drugs often. But all it takes is coersing a person to devote their purpose to another. Doesn't mean they can never gain their soul back though. Sometimes people realize the empty promises they were offered and pull away to regain their own purpose in life.
