The upstanding moral citizens of Skyrim don't get thugs sent after them since they don't sack people's houses. If you steal a sweetroll from anywhere in or near someone's house, they will be telepathically informed that you specifically took it.

They will then hire thugs that use the same form of telepathy to locate you.

However all this telepathy usually leads to amnesia, because even though they sent three armed men to kill you, if you talk to them they start giving you blessings and talking about how good a friend you are.
