Frankly I am not completely comfortable with making a distinction, but it seems to me that thievery would be the ongoing acts of stealing that a person might be engaging in. Examples might be repeated stealing on the part of bank employees, or a lifestyle that includes shoplifting. Theft is the crime for which a person committing these acts would be convicted if caught and tried. You would be convicted of theft. Why? For living a lifestyle that includes thievery.

"Thievery" refers to the act of stealing, typically in a stealthy or sneaky manner, while "theft" is the actual act of taking something that does not belong to you. Essentially, thievery is a more informal or colloquial term for theft.
