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 on 14th Street and 9th Avenue around noon on Aug. 16 and made off with close to $30,000 in stolen goods.

The gang grabbed clothing and other gear and stuffed them into large sacks and a shopping cart, walking nonchalantly by a security guard who appeared on video to do nothing to stop them. One man carried a huge pile of apparel overflowing in his arms.

The NYPD’s 6th Precinct, which covers both the West Village and Greenwich Village, has seen crime spike 80% — fueled by a 103% increase in grand larceny and shoplifting,

They're getting what they voted for, good and hard.

Better believe it does. Tradition has it that if someone tells you they’re from Brooklyn and one were to respond “Oh, you’re from New York’’.

The person would respond by saying , “No, I’m from Brooklyn’’.

7 men and women? That is sexist. They were 7 people. They should not be identified as male or female because we don’t know what they identify as.

the only solution for high-end retail stores is to do what jewelers in Kowloon do: install man-tramp vestibules that admit only one or two at a time after careful scrutiny ... either that or go online only ...

It certainly makes sense for paying customers to buy here - you know you’re paying for their stuff AND yours.

I live a dozen miles west of NYC and haven’t been there in decades. These discussions about their crime, tolls, “congestion pricing”...meaningless.

The best way to take care of this would be to shoot the thieves.

Waiting for the usual freepers to declare “ no one deserves to be shot for stealing”. *Crickets*.

Remember, this chaos is all thanks to your democrat neighbors who vote in criminal politicians and DAs.
