Sometimes it's tough to slip anything past Bernard. Even though you've got your pickpocketing skill way up there, there are some (undocumented) minuses to your chances based on his level, which IIRC is pretty high for a lowly barkeep. Also, the program generates a number to determine whether you've succeeded or not, but if you keep trying for the same thing after each reload and nothing else changes then the same number is generated each time!
First, you (obviously) need to save before and after each theft attempt, and if one of your tries is unsuccessful, then after reloading do something to make the program generate another number - for example, either try to steal a different item or have someone try to hide in shadows. This admittedly cheesy technique has always worked for me and I didn't have to boost Yoshi's chances up to near the level that you have - I find that having him drink 3 Potions of Master Thievery does the trick.
