The cost of the groceries was sunk cost. He lost the $70 he would have made selling it to someone who wasn't paying him with his own money minus the percentage he normally loses due to spoiling or theft.

yes he did.

if any one other than the thief bought those groceries, he would get the cost PLUS the markup, which totals $70.

but instead he got $0 because it was already his money.

But you can look at it as him losing the amount that he would have otherwise made off of those groceries.
