From the newsgroup: you weren't charged anything if you broke the lock of a box or chest which was owned by a shop. Force the hero to pay for the damaged container; any contents remain owned by the shop and don't affect the cost of the forced purchase. This existing entry in fixes35.0 is adequate to cover the fix: various actions--such as enchanting--performed on an unpaid shop object either force the hero to buy the item (when its value is lowered) or increase the current bill (when its value is raised)
