Riddle me this: a man walks into a store and steals a $100 bill. 5 minutes later, he returns to the same store and buys stuff worth $70. he pays with the bill that he had stolen, so the owner of the store returns him $30. how many dollars did the store owner lose?

$30 in cash and $70 in inventory.

He originally lost $100 cash but when the robber bought the $70 worth of items, he made some cash back.

Either way, he still loses a total $100
