Some suggestions for D&D thief gods:

1) Check out Olidammara and Kurrell. They are both Greyhawk gods. Both have some myths associated with them, gaming write-ups that include some details of cults and rituals, mechanical stuff. I could get links for you in a jiffy.

Olidammara is a wine , women, and song merry trickster type. He works equally well for thieves and bards.

Kurrell is darker, a scorned god, obsessed with getting even. His story connects with the Oeridian wind deities, among others.

2) Hermes, as somebody mentioned upthread

3) Maybe a mortal who stole divinity?

4)Maybe an immortal who stole something precious and gave it to humans, like Prometheus and fire?
