I agree with the $30 + Cost of merchandise would be the total value loss to the storeowner.

Quoted from G-P-E:$100. $30 change + cost of merchandise + future profit (loss of sale difference between cost and sales price).
Don't know cost cost of merchandise or lost profit but the two of them amounts to what he would sell for: $70.
That makes sense. But I don't think it's how retailers see loss in shoplifting. If someone steals something that's worth $100, they just buy the product again at the wholesale cost of $50 (or whatever), and just average out the two products at a lesser profit. But depends on what it is I guess. They may never recoup the costs.
