The character should have little will power and consistently makes bad judgements.
So, in addition to coming up with foolish plans that would not work, the character may well act on them or the suggestions of others. The character could easily believe everything that is told to him, as he will miss many contradictory details in a story.
To make matters worse, the character may not perceive dangers as easily as others. For example, the character may be extremely confident in his abilities and try stunts that he thinks will work but have very little chance of success. Or he may even ignore such basic thngs as realizing that he will have trouble swimming if he is loaded down with treasure.
As for a lack of willpower, it may well manifest itself in taking whatever he wants. The character may only have had some success as a thief because of the inattentiveness of others, running, or sheer luck. The character may act on his first impulse, such as deciding to see what happens if he pulls a lever. Or if he is convinced that he has just drunk a potion of flying, he might try to test it out not by taking a leap in the air but from a second story window.
