Why would a house thief waste time delivering packages?

Not only would that not help your thieving at all, but the company that hired you having all your info on file would make you much more likely to get caught. Assuming you are robbing houses you can deliver too.

Putting on a fake delivery uniform and carrying around boxes that aren't meant to be delivered makes a lot more sense if you just need to case the houses before robbing.

Nobody has a career of being a "house thief", it's always a crime of opportunity. Given the low barrier to entry for delivery, they are good jobs for people coming out of jail or people with low education levels. So Joe Schmoe comes to your house, sees easy access to your backyard where your expensive BBQ sits, and wonders "shit, I could make a quick hundred bucks stealing that tonight, I already have the truck to move it!"
