I'm not aware of any other class or race or item or anything else that gives a player that kind of power.

Well, in 7 years of play, I've seen everyone try to abuse every option available to them. I don't think the Thief is terribly unbalanced, and at the cost of a card, a thief can run out of ways to steal. If you're giving up cards as charity instead of finding ways to get rid of them, or not using them to hurt the Thief and make him lose his class, it's your own fault. I know, I know, we're not supposed to blame the victim, but an insurance company won't pay you for your stolen car if you leave the doors unlocked, the windows down and the keys in the car, even if you do have theft insurance. My advice to you: Make sure you're not giving up cards you don't have to, especially to a Level 1 Thief.
