Nope. My losses would only be the cost of the can. The other $5K would be unrealized gains

This is a good way to phrase it.

How much did the store lose? I didn't start reading the thread until a couple of pages ago so I never saw your answer. Do you mind sharing it again? Asking because one of the first posts I read accused you of destroying your own arguments, which seems to be the case here based on the comments that I have read.

Fancy words for admitting that you lost your own argument

Everything on the planet is unrealized gains until you sell them. Since the store doesnt have those items any longer, they can never 'realize' those gains. Plus, to re-order the exact same items only adds debt

So even using your logic, they lost 2X the costs of the goods, plus the $30 change. Once because those items can never be sold, and twice because those items need to be replaced. Re-supply is the only way for the store to be restored to the they were prior to the fraudulent purchase
