I guess you could say that just because there is a budget line for the losses; it doesn't justify theft. As well, if the level of thefts increase; the store or company will take action. For example; if they planned for $1M in theft and there is $2M in the same time period- something has to give. They either raise prices, take money from somewhere else, or take away the source of the increased losses. (Such as WalMart did by taking away their self serve checkouts.)
