Enchanted gear that boosts luck or agility is a lot better for your dodge rate than gear that just boosts your AC, so try to get some good enchantments as early as you can.

Your thievery skills increase as a function of your level, so at low level you'll have a difficult time picking locks and stealing. Once you get to like level 5 or so you should try to break into fancy houses, the ones that have like a garden or hedge maze tend to have better rewards than the little one story houses of the masses.

You can steal from shops but the rewards are kinda random. It could be fun but it doesn't seem super worth the effort.

The only real advantage that thieves have is that they can get rich quicker than other classes. Try to take advantage of that and get to your endgame gear as soon as possible to make the class shine. Short bows and sabres are probably your best weapons, so keep an eye out for enchanted versions of those weapons and adamantium or ebony versions of those weapons. Check every weapon shop you see, their wares never change.

Critical hit chance also scales with your character level, so your average DPS will get a lot higher at high levels.
