is it historically accurate to depict thieves and criminals using mostly ranged weapons such as bows and throwing knives?
or were they more likely to just stick to regular knives and other non-ranged weapons?

Ranged weapons like bows? I don't know enough about how hard bows or throwing knives would be to get for a thief historically ,I would say yes on things like knives though

Thieves stole things.
Muggers and robbers used intimidation and force to steal. Thieves would not use violence.
John Brown
I said thieves and other criminals too

Assassins probably, thieves were no murderers and had no no business carrying bows since I figure they would be to big to sneak into places and arrows would be a pain to carry around everywhere. Just daggers for self defense and the rest would be tools to steal shit.

Thieves wouldn't use weapons at all.
Muggers would probably use knives, since it's hard to carry a bow around without other people noticing it.

Modern RPGs have a tendency to simply classes to an exteme. What in the past would have been a ranger is now lumped together with a thief or bard as a "rogue". Same with any kind of class based on magic. Wizards? Clerics? Druids? Nah, you're all mages now.
Fuck, I fucking hate this trend.

The whole point is stealing shit, so you stab someone in the kidney and mug the fucker right there, not fire arrows at him or throw fucking knives then be forced to run up to your mark.
Guns are a different story though since they can easily be concealed.
