I'm not too familiar with the Lacey Act, but similar federal laws usually require that something be done "in commerce," which usually means interstate commerce. However, trade with Indian tribes and foreign nations also satisfies this "in commerce" requirement, so if the thieves are natives and selling to non-native buyers (or maybe stealing from non-native pot owners would count), you might have sufficient federal jurisdiction on that basis.
