Sometimes PCB fabricator will do copper balancing on inner layers to prevent 
PCB from warping.

As far as I know, thieving is placed so far away from traces that its effects 
are insignificant.  The exception I've seen has been where they put thieving on 
dual stripline layers, but that is an egregious error.   If in doubt, you 
should call out "thieving keepout" areas in your design.

Note: though thieving is primarily a plating aid (as I understand it), I have 
seen many vendors put thieving on inner layers.  I would appreciate anyone's 
informed insight into why it's sometimes used on inner layers, and sometimes 
not.  I suspect it's to reduce the amount of useless etching, but haven't been 
able to get a definitive explanation.
