If the client hashes the password then the hash itself is the password. Meaning stealing the hashes passwords is the same as stealing the plain text password for which they're based, since you can post them direct.

Blizzard entertainment does half client half server hashing which is rather clever, one of the few examples where client hashing makes sense.
