Stealing while hidden

I will try this myself if no one replies, it's just I'm frugal and want to keep as much money as possible: so, when crouching next to a chest or item in a store, for example, it will often say that I'm hidden but the eye icon will then open up slightly without telling me I've been detected. Can I still steal in this state and get away without a bounty, or will it lead to a city-wide search for me?

By the way, only posting because I couldn't find anything about this specific mechanic online.

    You can steal and stay in stealth, you cannot lock pick and stay in stealth.

    Ah, thank you kindly.

    A lot of stores in Vulkhel Guard are suddenly going to lose stock now....
