Donuts were about $0.50 a dozen in 1960, so $15.64 is almost exactly a dozen a day. In real terms, that means only one cop wasn't paying for his.

The wording "a loss of only" implies that the amount has been higher in the past. Perhaps the news isn't as bad as it seems for the month of March.

Geesh, that's pretty bad! Too bad there wasn't someone who knew how to investigate and find the culprit.
