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
What? They sold the item. The $100 was already stolen. Why would selling it to the thief make them never realize those gains if selling to a regular customer would.
The only reason the store didn't lose the full $100 is because the thief used it at their store to buy something so they got a percentage back based on how much the items he bought were marked up

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
You aren't making any sense.

Once because those items can never be sold
The item was sold at its normal price.
The thief stole the money and bought the item. If they wouldve stole the money and then stole the item you would've lost $100+cost of item. Instead you lost $30+cost of item

Nobody can be this dense. Youre just playing the contrarian at this point
The items were NEVER sold. The money they got for the purchase was their OWN. No new monies were exchanged in the transaction, from an outside source
The thief essentially stole items. He walked out with $70 in stolen items, and $30 out of the cash register. He gave the store ZERO dollars they they didnt already have. Thats how the transaction is different from a regular paying customer.
Once the thief gave them their $100, they were made whole. But when he walked out with $70 in merch and $30 in change, thats the point where the store was robbed. Again
