No, just hide repeatedly with a 10 sec pause in between. Hiding is a slow skill to gain, however, so don't be impatient! Just start a macro and go to bed. It usually takes me about 2-3 days to GM hiding.
I don't know about stealing. I've never macroed that. Maybe this can help you: http://www.uorenaissance.com/info/Stealing

Works for me. I work from 6pm-midnight Central US time, 6 days a week. Which is why I'm on at this time. Hit me up when you're ready (just not tonight lol). Send me a forum PM letting me know what times are best for you this weekend and I'll make sure I'm on, as long as it's before 6pm central US time. For reference, it's about 2am here right now.
