I have never had success but know of people in NIC who have had success.  I
reckon that you have to set up as a Hero thief, max out in the skill and buy
as much DEX as possible.  The DEX levels quoted to me are in the 40s.  He seems
to have no problem stealing from ruins.

P.S. In realms I'd suggest that you equip two silersheen potions (+10 DEX) and
activate one, plus another 5 DEX.  Be sure about what you want though.
