The $100 bill that was in the register is still in the register. It's a wash. The only money missing is the $30 the store owner handed over. The goods are also missing, valued at either $50 wholesale or $70 retail.
Maybe I can be clearer about what I’m trying to convey. Assume the thief had a $100 bill in his pocket in addition to the one he stole. It doesn’t matter which bill he pays with later when determining how much the owner lost.

Some people in an earlier thread got hung up on the same bill issue, thought “paying him with his own money” was significant to the puzzle. It’s not, but it’s a major red herring.

$80 was lost by store owner.
