Yeah, and their tendency to do this is why I don't like using their subs. And in the case of that one line, it didn't even make sense in context.
I was puzzled by that line, too until I decided to read the TL notes; then it made sense. The god is technically trying to steal Ichiko's fortune - thus the word thief was used in place of what binbougami should mean. Do I agree with the choice? Not really, its cute, bit unnecessary.

I'm pretty sure it was used more than once for Ichiko as well. "Fuck" really stands out in dialogue because its pretty strong language, isn't use very often, and is rarely justifiable. Yeah, she's supposed to sound like a course, like a thug/punk/gangster or something. Most translations don't feel a need to use f-bombs for those kinds of characters.
True. I found it to be a fine stylistic choice when the characters are talking in an extremely strong tone since it gets the tone across even though I can hear it. But, I can see how the liberal use of fuck can be annoying to people.
