OMG no it is not 100. It is more than 200 and your argument is irrelevant.

Ok lets go slow

He takes 100 dollars.....he puts merchandise on counter. They tell him he owes 70.00.

He takes the 100 and gives it back to the store.....

At that moment the 100.00 is in the register. The store has the same amt of cash that they had prior to him stealing.

They then take 30 out and give him his change. He has 30.00.

After that he takes his bag of goods that have a value of less than 70.00 (store markup). So he walks out of store with 30 bucks and less than 70 in goods.

Do you get it now?
