I hope that is not the case but these people live in a country that is literally very close to one of the hells described in the Divine Comedy (Dante A.) .. so they don't have much to loose. Lets hope they get scared after these turn of events......
Stealing the ship does little for them, they can't sell it and it's easily track able.. No one is going to pay a ransom for a ship. They pay ransoms to get the crews back. The pirates keep doing what they are doing because people keep paying the ransoms.
