Because the stolen $100 bill is used for the subsequent purchase, we want to think the two transactions are somehow linked. But are they?
What if the customer came back in 6 months and made the purchase with the stolen bill?
no. he literally gives back $70 to "buy" the merchandise. he steals $70 in merch and $30 in cash. owner "profit" on merch is immaterial because COGS is a sunk cost.
So, the point you're making here is this...bad guy could just as easily have stolen the dude's hundy five minutes after stealing someone else's hundy. So, shopkeeper lost his $100, but then made a sale of the goods he hoped to sell anyway. So he lost $100.
Yup. Money is fungible. Nothing magical about that one bill.
