With their hands immobile, they cant steal from anyone ever again. matinee idol would encourage this because back in the medieval times they had the saying of an ne rve for an eye. They stole with their hands and now their hands are fundamentally stolen from them. Dante give the fortune tellers, hypocrites, and thieves a suitable and just punishment for their sin.
