No problem. We know these characters so we usually can infer stuff. Let's look at Sly, he doesnt always stumble across a criminal and think "oh hey, this guy deserves to be stolen from", sometimes he sees an item and thinks "I wanna steal this" so he checks the background to see if the person he's stealing from is criminal and therefore his code will allow him to steal desired item. This was obviously showcased in Thieves in Time, he went to the museum enjoying the company of Carmelita, saw an item he wanted to steal, and then checked the owners background (in this case Le Paradox) to see if his code would let him steal from him. So looking at "Goodbye My Sweet", at this point in his life, Sly had a thing for Carmelita and wanted to spend time with her, but because of the cop/Thief dynamic it's not like he can just spend time with her,  he has to take what he can by means of pulling a heist in whatever it is she's looking after, in this case the chocolate, but we know Sly, he won't just steal this expensive chocolate bar (which under normal circumstances, he probably wouldn't care about, and he obviously isn't that bothered about its value, as shown by the gang eating it at the end), not if it's from an innocent, Sly here wanted to spend time with Carmelita, so he would have done a background check on the owner of the chocolate to see if his code would allow him to steal it, and therefore get what little time he could with Carmelita.
