Thief detector on guards
C'mon!!!! no matter if my best thief is the leader or in the middle or last possition in the squad, most of the times everybody chooses to look at him. I even enter with my group and then him, or enter with the entire group. It is not constant, but it's like they mostly choose to look at him.
pretty anoying, I have to come and go, enter and leave far from the shop, then back in and pray. This is just anyoing when attempting thievery but when it comes to situations more important it can become an issue.

I really would like to know the algorithm that make the people look at one of the members of the squad, just curious

Hi. I robbed the Armour King blind every time. Never encountered your situation as per your description with other shopkeepers too. Maybe mods trouble?

Before entering building, sneak
Bring one or more characters with you as distraction for guards to look at. You can make guards to look at other direction by moving one of your characters.
Be sure your thievery skill is high enough, like 70 or higher.
Night time is best time, be sure your stealth is high too, and don't wear lantern of radiance.
You could carry a packbull, after looting a container, switch to packbull to steal.
Any faction you're ally with, you won't be able to tell 100% if they can see you.

Got some mods, I don't know if any of them might impact on this.

I enter open shops and steal what worths stealing, or sell expensive things and then steal it back, sneaking is useless if I have to pass by the shop owner and guards. My problem is that my thief, many times, more than I'd like to, agroos the attention of all invididuals, even tehre are times that I enter with the rest of my group, get the attention, move them so all of them look away from where I want to steal, then enter with my thief and they switch to him. Not always but way often to suspect there is something behind that behavior
