Actually:
1. The station has a night of a few minutes.
2. There is always a point in its orbit when there's a minimum of telescopic observation and EM communications. If you take out one or two ground sites with nukes, this spot might also become a communication blackout spot.
3. You can paint your spacecraft with stealth unobtainium – black spectrum-wide, invisible to RADAR and optical telescopes.
Now, all it takes is to dock to the station, open the airlock, break in, get whatever you want, erase your visit from the logs, leave, close the hatches, undock. All under 3 minutes. Piece of pie... I mean, easy as cake... Whatever, no trouble if you drink enough vodka.
