      She takes $100 then returns it. That's a wash. She then leaves with $70 in goods, $30 in cash. Owner loses $100, seems to me

          It's impossible to answer b/c we don't know what the owner actually paid for the goods that had a $70 retail value.

          I disagree. The question says it's $70 WORTH of goods, indicating their FMV. That's sufficient to answer question as a $100 loss to owner

          If the owner only paid $40 then he didn't lose $70. The goods can be replaced for $40.

          He has several aspects of value, though: $40 he paid for goods, $30 in profit, $30 in cash. She stole his expected profit. That's value.

          She gave the stolen $100 bill back to pay for her purchase. He's out $100 in revenue. She left with $30 +$70 worth of goods. Simple math.

          After surrendering the stolen $100 bill. Shop out $100 in revenue, total. This is not hard, you must be trolling. Goodbye.
