Lol u can't count the goods as stolen and the $70 as stolen if they give u the $70 back.. U gotta pick one or the other. Either they stole ur $70 and paid you for the goods or they stole the goods and didn't take ur $70.

The hundred is from the previous sale. So he took your profit. Then he paid you with the stolen money took the product and got change back. You lost your profit from the previous sale, you lost your inventory, and you lost the replacement cost of the goods. Yall are looking at it as a simple exchange and it is anything but.

This is presented as “a riddle”.
It seems to be one where the joke is that it’s a riddle with a painfully obvious answe that people will otherwise overthink. Ie - the person stole $100 from the cash register. That was the only actual “theft”. The purchase of goods was a legal transaction.
The only other logical way to answer the riddle, if you consider it as the totality of the situation, is to say that they store “lost $30 in cash and goods valued at $70 retail”.
It’s amazing this thing has gone on for ten pages.
