If
one sold an animal and it grew old and weak while in the robber's
possession, he pays its cash value as at the time of the robbery.
If
one stole a coin and it cracked, or fruits and they rotted, or wine and
it soured – he pays the value as at the time of robbery.
If
one stole Chametz (leavened food) and it remain in the robber's
possession throughout Passover – which rendered it prohibited for all
benefit – the robber can say to the original owner, “Behold, what is
yours I right here before you, take it back as is.”
