Kaitou Saint Tail
Alt titles: Saint Tail
Synopsis:
Meimi Haneoka is a typical girl with a not-so-typical double life: by day she attends St. Paulia School, and by night she transforms into the phantom thief Saint Tail! Stealing only items that deserve to be stolen, Meimi takes her orders from the nun in training Seira Mimori. But even with the best of intentions, Meimi can't help but have a few enemies; her classmate, Asuka Jr., would love nothing more than to unmask Saint Tail's identity. However, Meimi can't help but be intrigued by her dashing opponent. Thievery galore and young love await the magical Saint Tail!

D.N.Angel
- TV (26 eps)
- 2003
For Niwa Daisuke, turning 14 should be accompanied by romance and the promise of new adventures into adulthood, but instead comes with a surprising revelation: all male children of the Niwa's bloodline inherit the powers (alter ego) of Dark, a phantom thief, upon their 14th birthday! Now, in addition to his ever-present quest to win the heart of his childhood friend Risa, Daisuke must commit acts of thievery (with his doppelganger Dark controlling his body), to steal mysterious pieces of art for unknown purposes. For Daisuke, his growing pains are just beginning!

add recThough both DNAngel and Kaitou Saint Tail are about thieves, that's not the only reason I'm recommending the two together. Both start out fairly/mildly dark, but end up being mostly slice of life, lighthearted thievery tales (admittedly I haven't seen much Kaitou, though). Kaitou is more of a shoujo story while DNAngel is aimed more at boys, but I think fans of one might enjoy the other.
Both anime have very similar topics. Both involve theives who steal for good purpose and leave notes before they strike. They both have a little romance and are very cute. They have similar morals to their stories and besides, both are hillarious! I definetly recomend both.
King of Bandit Jing
- TV (13 eps)
- 2002
Join the king of thieves Jing and his plumed partner Kir as they seek out the greatest treasures in the world - and steal them. From desert bandit fortresses to the innermost sanctums of kings and queens, if there's a magnificent treasure to be had, you can be sure Jing has his eyes (and later his hands) on it.

add recIf you like the thieving tales of Kaitou Saint Tail and want a little less mahou shoujo, why not check out the ultimate thief anime Jing? It's random, comedic, and overall a lot better in every way (unless you want a recurring or cohesive story).
Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne
In the Middle Ages, a woman named Jeanne D'Arc claimed to hear God's voice. She led a lonely life and was burned at the stake, despite being the voice to lead France to victory in the Hundred Years War. In today's world, she is reincarnated as Maron Kusakabe, a girl whose mission is to prevent demons from stealing people's hearts. To do this, she must steal any artifact that they possess. Her best friend, Miyako, is a detective looking for the thief, without a clue that she's right under her nose. Will Maron be able to save the world from destruction, or will she be caught red-handed by her friend?

add recThese are both "magical girl" anime with very similar premises -- an ordinary schoolgirl by day becomes a do-gooder theif by night. Both of them deal with freindship, romance, and the problem of having a secret identity. Additionally, both tend to be on the lighter side, mostly fun and upbeat with a bit of dramatic tension interspersed througout.
Wedding Peach
Alt titles: Ai Tenshi Densetsu Wedding Peach
Hanasaki Momoko is a seemingly normal school girl; she enjoys taking photographs, trying on wedding dresses, and having fun with her friends Yuri and Hinagiku (despite the fact that all three have a crush on the same boy!) But one day, Momoko and her friends are attacked by a mysterious man called Pluie who attempts to steal Momoko's ring, a gift from her mother. Another strange man named Limone intervenes, giving Momoko a magical item known as the 'Saint Miroir'. Using this, Momoko is granted the power to transform into the angel of love - Wedding Peach! With Pluie and his minions attempting to destroy all the love in the world, Momoko frequently has to call upon her powers to save the day. Suddenly, her life isn't so normal anymore!

add recSaint Tail and Wedding Peach can be appreciated by the same audience because they share a similar atmosphere and were created with the same target audience in mind. Although Saint Tail is a bit more grounded in the sense that the storyline only uses magic as a visual effect, rather than a full on theme or backstory - the themes of friendship and high school romance, and the humour should appeal to the same crowd.
Cat's Eye
During the day, the three Katsugi sisters are the proud owners of the Cat's Eyes Café; but at night, Hitomi, Rui and Ai become the most wanted thieves in town! After sending a preliminary business card to the police, warning them of what they play to swipe next, the girls rob the most precious pieces of art from well-guarded museums and secured private collections. The sisters, however, do not steal for money; everything they steal belonged to their father. By collecting his items, the girls are hoping to find clues that will help explain his vanishing in 1945. However, on the other hand, the clumsy Inspector Toshio Utsumi is on a mission to stop the Katsugi sisters; what he didn’t plan for was the fact that that his fiancée is one of them...

add recSaint Tail has a similar thieving theme, is episodic - so one is able to catch it sparingly, much like Cat's Eye. The heroine in both is also romantically involved with the detective trying to catch them.
