A smart thief would steal everyone else's stuff and happily take their discards to steal more stuff (being level lowest level), then sell all of the junk to rocket up in levels and then stomp and eat Cthulhu. And it's mate.
Stealing stuff does come with a cost, but bear in mind, Thieves steal Items. Each portion of a Laser is still an Item, so they can't steal the whole array.

Other than that, I will argue that balance is good where it is. The cards aren't just created and left unchanged through round after round after round of playtesting.
