Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellant proved the stolen inventory and resulting burglary loss
Decisão extraída
The proof failed because the sales and inventory records were not verifiable and the new documents filed on appeal were inadmissible.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that, with proper bookkeeping, strict proof of the goods present at the relevant time was possible. The sales lists were treated as party assertions without the corresponding numbered receipts, so no reliable reconstruction of the stock was possible.
