Yes

The loss is 100 dollars. End of story.

If a guy steals 100 dollars and never comes back to the store the loss is 100 dollars. The thief returning to the store and purchasing 70 dollars worth of goods is no different than you or I purchasing 70 dollars worth of goods from that same store.

Exactly. If the store does a full inventory that same night, they'd find no loss of inventory (unless someone else stole something that day). Only the loss at the register goes in the books. That is the loss to the company.
