Georgia Court Of Appeals - Rogers v. The State., 191 Ga. App. 855, 383 S.E.2d 331 (1989)
Robert M. Boulineau, for appellant.
Defendant was convicted of entering an automobile with the intent to commit a theft. Following the denial of his motion for new trial, defendant appealed. Held:1. In his first enumeration of error, defendant asserts the general grounds. Viewing the evidence in a light favorable to the verdict, we find the following: On the day in question, a Friday, the victim went to the bank to transact business and left with a money pouch which he placed under the seat of his car. Then he drove to a country club where he was to meet his wife for lunch. He parked his car, which was equipped with an alarm, and entered the club. Shortly thereafter, the alarm sounded. The victim's daughter, a lifeguard at the club pool, heard the alarm and went to investigate She saw defendant inside the victim's car. He was sitting in the driver's seat, leaning over and "looking down at the floor." In the words of another witness, defendant was "scrambling all through the car . . . looking for something . . . "The victim's daughter ran towards the car and defendant made a hasty exit. He got into a van which had been parked next to the victim's car. A co-defendant was the driver of the van. When defendant entered the van, the co-defendant sped off. The money pouch had not been taken.The evidence was sufficient to enable a rational trier of fact to find defendant guilty of entering an automobile with intent to commit a theft beyond a reasonable doubt.
