The reason you can't steal is simple: there is too much good stuff in one place. Being able to use those master thievery potions and shoplift from Ribald would not only be unrealistic, it would also create a group of godlike adventurers during the early stages of the game (and again, when he lets you into his backroom, after your return from the Underdark).
He's not the only one who's pick-proof. Deidre is, as well, and the IWD-influenced merchant who shows up at the Copper Coronet. So is the blacksmith in Trademeet--all for similar reasons.
