The reason why Rick Riordan, the author of The Lightning Thief chose the title 'The Lightning Thief' for the title of his book was because it was what the story plot was mainly about; finding out who the true lightning thief was.

'Zeus's stolen bolt' would not bring in much readers, so he had to make a drawing title.

The Lightning Thief makes you wonder, who is the lightning thief? So you pick up the book and begin to read it, to find out.

That is what Rick Riordan wanted, so he created 'The Lightning Thief' to be his title of his book.
