I see your suggestion to just remove Burglary, Sancta.  I just think once I start doing that, I might as well revamp the whole list because just getting rid of one Skill and splitting it up as Trappings or Stunts for other skills sounds like a bandaid.  Giving Burglary pickpocketing as a Trapping is also a bandaid solution, but of the two I think it's an easier bandaid.  If I'm going for something harder, I might as well go all the way and fix the Skill in total.

Does that make sense?

I applaud your revised Skill set by the way, that's way more work than I have the time for.

You don't really need to do much to split up its trappings among other skills. They're already there, almost.

Casing is entirely covered by another skill. Hacking almost is, but for some reason the Scholarship Computer Use trapping is specifically handicapped. And if you read the Breaking trapping of Craftsmanship generously, it can already be used to pick locks.

And that's basically the entire skill.

So there's essentially no work to do, with my approach.
