I read in a guide that they exist, but I'd like to know where to find them/what type of containers I'm looking for.

Thieves caches are located all over Skyrim. The Riften cache is located in the garden of the house you can buy there. In the back of the garden you should find there are some barrels, one of which is the Thief Cache appropriately named "Thief Cache" :)
The house is located at number 7 (top-left) on the map below if you don't know where it is.
Also keep a look out for this "shadow-mark", it's means there is a thieves cache somewhere nearby.
You can learn more about the Thieves Guild shadow-marks here.

1I just checked this out, and I was able to access and open the cache without owning the house at all. Commented Dec 22, 2011 at 16:06

There is also a thieves' cache on the lower walkway in a barrel on the way to the rat way– user24788Commented May 1, 2012 at 19:00

There's another thief cache on the bridge of the guards' barracks. If you go in the side door of Mistvill Keep then go out the door on the top floor there will be three barrels, the one at the back is the thief cache.– user51667Commented Jul 11, 2013 at 9:14

if you go to Whiterun and go behind the potions store there should be two barrels behind, one of them is a chest– user51667Commented Jul 11, 2013 at 9:18
