Nope. The thief doesn't represent the false prophets, false teachers nor false shepherds. It represents the devil which is the root of all evil. Yes, you heard it right. The root of all evil is the devil, not the love of money. Jesus explains His motive against of the devil. Because the devil's motive here on earth is to steal, kill and destroy the sons of God. Jesus is speaking the devil as the thief alone.
