I would say that it breaks Rule 1, that its not a story. It is similar to one of the examples at T:VS, "Fictional information presented non-narratively":

"Sometimes, publications... will present “biographical” or “historical” information about characters and situations in the DWU in a non-narrative style."

Theif is definitely written in a "non-narrative style".
