I concur that playing a common thug and saying you're inspired by Locke is largely missing the point of his character. Locke (and Zidane, and Robin Hood, and countless others from other media) falls into the category of the "noble thief," the rogue who uses his skills to benefit the forces of Good by sidethinking and working from the shadows. If you're not a good guy, you're not like Locke other than you might share a skill set with him.
I'm not going to get into any value judgments on thievery itself; there's lots of ways to play it, and stories need Bad Guys too. I do want to echo Zyrusticae's point, though, that you absolutely must get consent from another player before stealing from them.
