I mean, they can probably get it back but this time without rubber bullet guns and tasers, I believe this will make a lot of people actually wanting to roleplay with the guy they are hunting more than shooting them down and not get any money for it
Also I would suggest (even tho not in correct place) bounty hunters taking the person to the police station only if they got to the blue zone they would get the money (the hunter would have to escort him in there)
