You run a shop and someone steals $100

Because it's his cash (the shopkeepers), he's paying with his own money for a product he already owns



If the thief stole $100 and then stole $60 worth of merchandise it would be the same loss of $160.

Yeah, but aren't you forgetting the owner paid ~$60 to buy the merch, so isn't he really down $220?

C'mon, @BocaRear, we can get through this together.

You agreed that after

1. Thief steals $100
2. Thief steals $60 in goods

the total loss is $160.

Now, after

1. Thief steals $100
2. Thief steals $60 in goods
3. Storekeeper accidentally "returns" $40

what's the total loss?

80

he took 100 = -£100

then 'put 60 back' =£-40

You gave him 40 in change = £-40

which mean you down £80

Aii lets start with the bolded. So at that point the shop keeper is out $160 right? Now lets say instead of stealing the $60 of merchandise the thief paid for it from the original $100 he stole (WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENED). So now the shopkeeper is out the $60 of merchandise and the original $100....BUT he got $60 of his money back for the merchandise.

Lets say (for some reason) you subtract the $60 you got for the merchandise from the original $100 you lost. Now you're out $40 cash (100-60 merch) PLUS the cost of the merch (60).

The thief didn't keep 80 in cash
Bought a $60 item with $100 he gets 40 in change that's it

You're forgetting the fact that the thief gave the shopkeeper $100, he didn't steal the the product after the original $100 theft
Shopkeeper only lost $100

Nikka are you retarded

the thief essentially traded that $100 bill for a $60 product and $40 in cash where tha fukk are you getting the extra money from

BINGO. This is why I posted the counterfeiting money example. God damn cats don't even know basic finance.

Breh

You're looking at it from the perspective of the thief.

The shopkeeper loses more than just the $100 due to HIS money being used to pay for the merchendise again.

So the shopkeeper loses approx -$160 but add the profit, which is just less than $160.

You fail to realise that the shopkeeper has MOST likely paid for his product already from a supplier.

So why did you say the total loss was $160 when I asked the first question?
