Gotcha! Hmmmm. Idk if he'd be desperate enough to steal that...

...UNLESS one of the merchants was specifically asking for salt in exchange for food/grain/food adjacent items, and he was like "sigh okay I'll get you some salt". And he was going to try to broker a deal with another merchant but then he just sees her stuff sitting there and is like "you know what maybe this is easier". 🤔 Then maybe! And if it's obviously not actual food, he might not feel guilty about taking it the way he would if it was like, bread or something.
