This would be true if they didn't get $70 back. When they got $70 back all they lost was $30 and their cost on the goods that the thief gained.


what the hell are you talking about?

Maybe I’m the jabronie here but here are the two scenarios:
Say the store has $200 in the drawer:

1) If the guy never stole the money - store has $200 in the drawer. Guy walks in and buys $30 of goods with a hundred dollar bill. Store now has $230 in the drawer (200+100-70=230)

2) Guy steals $100 - store now has $100 in the drawer. Guys walks in and buys $30 of goods with a hundred dollar bill. Store now has $130 in the drawer (100+100-70=130).
