and for the record if you want to know what a thief does in the final fantasy world this is what they do.
STEAL --> the nature of being a thief
run/hide --> the often had a better run/flee rating
mug --> steal and deal damage
throw --> use items in your invetory to deal damage
and in the case of final fantasy XI they controlled enmity by securing it on a chosen target which if you want to compare thief to another thief in an MMO, this one would be more appropriate to make the comparison to.
Plus since we have treasure coffers they could have some sort of interaction with them.

Maybe instead of agalon tin bags we could get silver from Treasure Hunter trait from thieves
