This doesn't work for me.

I'm guessing it relates to the old adage, "It takes a thief to catch a thief."
In other words, you must think like a thief if you want to catch a thief.

You must mean "thick as thieves". That is a British expression meaning "very close friends". Jane and Judy met at school, and they grew thick as thieves over the years, even to the extent of marrying brothers.
