The blacksmith constantly became agro to me if I stole too frequently before he could trigger his search. I originally was pausing time to ensure I had time to sort through the items an get what I wanted.
Now what I do is steal, and then let him confront me, persuading him that I dind't see a thief or something of the like is always a DC 1 (maybe just an EA thing?)...this lets him return to normal instead of agroing.
Also it is helpful to have other character talk to npcs to turn them around and free up the visual cone to steal on your target.
