So, you want them like an active career? What about the kleptos and the sharing NAP? Might be a good occasion to fine tune them and integrate them with the burglary career but make them les annoying or at least giving us the possibility to fight back or secure the lots. I had sims literally strip a bar while my sim was there having a drink, they took the chairs and everything.

I also think it would be a grand idea to fine tune the Kleptomania trait along with creating a fun, active Burglar career. Kleptomaniacs only tend to steal small objects anyway so having them steal bunches of large things, in public, so brazenly doesn't make sense. They also are folks with a mental issue and not bad people per se irl so changing the perimeters for what they nab in contrast to what a willful thief might steal would probably be a good thing. It still can be amusing which is what it is meant to be, but far less ahem expensive and annoying.

Plus I like the idea of making a professional thief and having them plan heists and circumventing securities.
