Answer
127 is the correct answer.
When the last thief comes the number of bread will be 7.
Later on going upwards it takes the formula 
2x+1 ie 2*7+1 =15 no will be there when Fourth thief comes 
and so on. 
for third  thief  2*15+1  ie 31 bread will be there
for second thief  2*31+1  ie 63 bread will be there
for first  thief  2*63+1  ie 127 bread will be there
