Isn't this just a Thievery check?
RC p. 156 should pretty much handle this. Basically:
Standard Action
Thievery vs. Hard DC equal to target's level
Requirement: You must be adjacent to object, target must not be holding object and object is small or smaller
Success: Take the object from target without the target noticing
Failure by 4 or less: You fail to take the object, but the target does not notice
Failure by 5 or more: You fail to take the object, and the target notices the attempt
Sleight of Hand might work if you're pulling a fast one (opposed Thievery and Perception checks and all), but I think pick pocket is more appropriate.

I agree with frothsof. This isn't so complicated that a skill challenge is needed. It's a grab. Make a grab check against the villain.
Well said.
I'd say you have to make an unarmed attack first and hit, and then make opposed Athletics or Thievery checks (each side chooses their own check).
 In 4e, a grab is just a Strength attack vs. Reflex.
I do like frothsof's idea of fighting over it though (depending on the item); maybe follow up the grab with a 'move a grabbed target' action (str vs. Fort) to wrest the item away.
