There's already a huge potential loss in the form of node sieges. Robbing houses would just lead to players leaving the game even faster than it might already do. Now guild halls during guild wars? Robbing that shit should be a goal and give a reward. Put a castle backdoor in some asshole of the castle and make the key insanely costly (time and/or resources), so that people have more ways to enter the castle during a siege.

I thought more of a PoI or Dungeon kinda setting where you can find secret treasures behind locked doors and chests.

Like there is already new paths that can be found in dungeons. What is some new paths could only be used if someone could pick a lock? Or stealing from NPC shops? Three could even be lock picking quests where you had to rob nobles?
