Also, there's more to the thief than what you said.

Thieves use their access in a variety of ways to achieve the Crew’s goals.

Thieves obtain items. This is usually the Thief ’s main job description: gain access to someplace that she’s not otherwise entitled to be, and take things that are not hers. Yet. “Someplace” could be a locked office, a bank vault, or the Mark’s pocket. The item’s as varied as the Jobs you pull: a computer hard drive, a secret document, or the Mark’s wallet.

Thieves know their opposition. She’s good at identifying security systems (electronic and otherwise) and knows the best ways to get ‘round them, sometimes working in concert with the Crew’s Hacker.

Thieves are often highly athletic. They’re one part acrobat to dodge laser motion sensors, one part contortionist to crawl through tiny ventilation systems, an d one part rock climber to scale the exterior of a skyscraper using nothing but suction cups and sheer guts. Oh yeah. Being a good sprinter never hurts, because sometimes running away is the best tactic.
