I mean, there's no Rep loss for killing him, plus you get the extra 90xp and the boots back.
From a P&P roleplaying perspective, anyone who pilfers from me as a player (or something I've deemed as mine), be it party members, or otherwise, I kill or at least try to.
That's caused some serious game upheavals from my DM in some of the games I've played, since one of the standard game rules of hers is "not to attack or kill party members".
Sure he gives the 25gp back when you complete his quest, but the fact that he stole it from you in the first place has always rubbed me the wrong way.
