Birdsong, Judge,
concurring specially.
In my opinion, this case is controlled by the fact that there was no permissive use of the insured’s automobile. If there was permissive use, the following cases control: Lauer v. Bodner, 137 Ga. App. 851 (225 SE2d 69); Barras v. State Farm Mut. &c. Ins. Co., 118 Ga. App. 348 (163 SE2d 759).
While it is unquestioned that the appellee originally allowed the tortfeasor permission to drive her car, that permission ceased when she attempted to secure her key from the ignition switch and then had a felony committed upon her person. At this point, the insured’s automobile became an uninsured automobile within the terms of the policy.
