I just want to clarify this, as I was confused at first when I read this.
Your thief and DEX values determine whether or not you succeed in stealing
an item.  Once it has determined that you have failed, your stealth level
determines whether or not you get caught.

Also, I don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but you supposedly get
+50% chance for being invisible.  So equip with two silversheen elixers,
activate a third, activate an invisibility potion, and try again?  But I
think that 22 is still going to be low.

Again, Dani's the expert on this stuff.
