Oops didn't read the explanation

Yup.

What if: the thief is a prostitute who repays partially the store owner with tricks?

or

what if the store owner is a prostitute who gives a blowjob to the thief, for free?

in this case .. 65% of people might be correct!!!!!!

The sad truth is - This is the kind of world we live in now!!!

I'm right here, going by Ginseng's parameters; yes or no?

Let's assume the register contains 500 dollars before the thief walks in.

Let's also assume the store has 500 dollars worth of merchandise.

The value of all goods (including cash) is 1000 dollars.

(Note: OP does not want us to include ANY other cost at all, no taxes lost, no restocking cost, nothing.)

Before the thief arrives the store is worth $1000.00

Thief arrives and takes 100. Store in now worth 900.00

Register is now at 400.00

The thief places 70.00 of store goods in his shopping cart.

The shelf value of the store is now 430.00

At this point the total value of the store is 830.00.

The thief now is at the register. He gives the clerk 100.00.

The register is now valued at 500.00.

The clerk gives the thief 30.00.

Register value now equals 470.00.

The store shelf value remains at 430.00.

The store is worth 100.00 less when the thief leaves.

What it cost to replace the food is irrelevant because he did pay for it...he just used their money to do it.

Fire the clerk...since the clerk is probably the thief anyway.

That $70 bucks was already stolen to begin with (from the store). That being the case, he stole the products with their own money, and yes, returned $70 to the till, but that means he ends up with $70 of stolen product.

Then you have to add the $30 in "change" they gave the theif.

My deductible was $1000

The best^ breakdown of it so far I think.

yeah my point was comments like that are from people who have never run a business and likely will never run a business.

Thieves commit insurance fraud by proxy, because I didn't own a business to lose money...

It looks like others already got it right; it's just that Littleman really took the time to break it down step by step for the other dummies like myself who didn't take the time to think it through.

It all depends on whether the thief or/and the store owner are part time prostitutes and how much he/she/they charge for tricks.

Here are the variables:

X= final store money lost
S = Store money stolen by thief
B = Blowjob price
N1 = Number of blow jobs done by store owner
N2 = Number of blow jobs done by thief

X=-S-(N1 X B) +(N2 X B)

Assuming both the store Owner and the thief follow the same 'street prices' in regards to blow jobs.

Thief walks out with $100 dollars worth of stuff

Register is short $100 dollars.

Thief spent $70.00 and gets $30 dollars in change
Thief still only gets $100 dollars

Register is still short the $100.00 but now the Thief just came in and takes $70 dollars worth of Product without paying and on the way out takes $30 dollars from said register

To me the store is out the $200 dollars

True, but it's a shame most of you get the answer wrong. Now what will I do?

I wasted all that time debating on assuming that profit margin not being a factor, meant that the store didn't pay any cost for the products that they sell; even though the simple answer was already given in the first few posts lol

Sir, you are correct!


Here are the variables:

X= final store money lost
S = Store money stolen by thief
B = Blowjob price
N1 = Number of blow jobs done by store owner
N2 = Number of blow jobs done by thief

X=-S-(N1 X B) +(N2 X B)

X=-100- (2 X50) +(0 X 50) = -$200

But that store owner sure is out of control!!!!

100 + 70 in goods so 170 total not counting actual purchase value of the goods.

Edit: Actually it may only be 30 + 70 goods so 100.

Hmm.

Thief didn't pay with his own money, he paid with the $100 bill he stole from the store.

IOW, $70 of the $100 dollar bill that he stole went back into the till. Then, thief walks off with $70 worth of product for free and the $30 they gave him in change, thinking it was his own money.

Who cares he is a thief and should have his left hand cut off the first time, if he does it again double tap to the brain...

Just kill the thief lol

Lock him up!

My God there are some stupid people on this forum.

And taxidermy him and set him up at front, as a warning to other thieves, LOL!

Again, it got broken down by 1LittlemanRp step by step here:

He stole 0.

He exchanged 100 dollars in store goods / Cash for the Value of a lesson in White Privilege and how oppressed black men respond to systemic abuses that go back to 1619.

The Store is the winner here.

Crucify any thief, like the ones next to Jesus...

The store lost $100 from the theft and $70 from the merchandise sold, for a total loss of $170.
