I should probably also contribute to the thread topic though, so...
What if the thieves' HQ was actually in the lower levels of the palace dungeons, abandoned by the authorities due to excessive haunting. However, since many of the ghosts were criminals, a lot of them support the thieves and keep the other ghosts away from them in exchange for help towards finding their rest, gaining vengeance on old foes, or simple habit. There's some tension between the helpful spirits and the thief boss(es), since the thieves rely on there being enough independent ghosts to deter intruders but also enough willing guardians to hold off any that try to attack the thieves, while a lot of ghosts help on the idea of eventually escaping ghostdom.
