Thief is a generic term for anyone who steals something, regardless of how or where they do it. A burglar is a thief who breaks into a structure in order to steal things. An intruder is someone who breaks into a structure, regardless of whether he steals anything or not.
So a thief may or may not be a burglar or intruder. An Intruder may or may not be a burglar or a thief. A burglar is both an intruder and a thief.

A thief is someone who steals in any place by any means for any reason. A burglar is someone who enters a place, vehicle, or other enclosure with the intent of stealing. An intruder is someone who goes into any place he or she is not supposed to be. An intruder is also one who enters a conversation or an activity uninvited even though they are permitted to be in the place where the conversation or other activity is occurring.

A thief is a person who commits theft.
Burglary – also called breaking and entering or house breaking – is a crime related to theft. It typically involves someone breaking into a house with an intent to commit a crime. To carry out a burglary is to burgle (British English) or burglarize (US English).
An intruder is a person that enters territory that does not belong to them. Intruders may also be thieves or robbers. Intruders mostly enter a territory in order to steal things.
Intrusion is prevented by laws governing breaking and entering and trespassing.
