The guard tower sword

[Kakero]

Try taking off your armor before stealing the item. I got caught on a few thefts even though the steal icon was showing, now I remove armor .... no prob

it doesn't make a difference, you should look at the guard before stealing, make sure the guard completely turn his back at you. then press ctrl and steal whatever you want to steal.

I was stealing the ebony staff from the Telvani in a TG quest. His back was turned (I was looking at him and the staff) and the icon was lit ... still caught (and killed). Took off the Dreugh armor and walked out with the staff.
