Geez, dude
How do you not comprehend that the store can never recover the profit from the original items with their stolen money??
They can certainly reorder those items, but the profit received is only for the re-ordered items. Not the original "stolen" items. They will NEVER recover the original profit. It simply walked out the door, along with their $30 in change. So it doesnt matter what the costs of goods were. That profit vanished. Along with the costs of the original "stolen" goods
Get it, now?

this only has to do with the fact that a store can never LOSE $70 on an item that does not cost them $70 to stock.
I'll make it simpler for you. If I own a store and put an empty beer can on the shelf and put the price at $5,000 and someone walks in and steals it, how much did I lose?
did I lose $5,000? no
I lost however much it cost me to get that beer can and put it on the shelf.
