There is no proof beyond a shadow of a doubt, or even beyond
a reasonable doubt needed in this kind of case--all that is needed
is a preponderance of the evidence.  In this case, a person is
holding a new item of merchandise still in its package while inside
the store, and the person sneaked past the inventory control point
and didn't get a needed marking on the merchandise that it was
brought in from the outside, and the person has no indication that
the item was purchased (such as a register tape or credit card
slip).  Therefore, the preponderance of the evidence is that the
item was picked off the shelf and the person then attempted to 
return said item for a refund.  The weight of facts in favor of
the store owning the item is far greater than the weight of the
facts of the perpetrator owning the item.  As a result, the store
should keep their item unless the perpetrator can prove otherwise.
