So the thief name is

robin hood the prince of thieves

The clue in the story is

the old phone model with a physical keyboard

The anagram part is

each number of the clue matching one key on a phone with multiple letters

So

7 match with pqrs but we choose r
6 match with mno but we choose o
and so on to find ROBIN HOOD

    $\begingroup$ The clues from the numbers aren't an anagram, they're a cipher (of sorts). Can't really see where the anagram comes in (unless Dyrandz just made a mistake, it does look like English might not be their first language). $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @DyrandzFamador - not a problem. I suspected that that's what might have happened. Just for future reference, anagrams are where you change the order of the letters, like going from "hello" to "loleh" or from "flier" to "rifle". $\endgroup$
