Security guards feel helpless as brazen thieves loot high-end NYC stores 

Security guards at several high-end stores in the West Village and Soho say they feel like sitting ducks as thieves loot their stores in broad daylight with no consequences.

The two NYC nabes — and their high-end shops — have become a target for enterprising robbers, like the group of seven men and women who sauntered into the Lululemon store at 14th Street and 9th Avenue around noon Aug. 16 and made off with close to $30,000 in stolen goods.
