Thieves are valuable because they can steal items/gold from enemies & break into houses to steal some valuable loot as well!

They retain their Pick Locks skill AND lockpicking when they promote to an Assassin or a Rogue

BUT should you choose to promote a Thief into a Bandit instead, he/she will lose access to lockpicks which means he also loses access to the Pick Locks skill. He/she will also no longer ultilize the luck stat because of it.

A thief-turned-into-a-bandit will retain his/her luck stat but his/her growth rate for that will be "Non-Existant"
