Concurring-Dissenting
DeBruler, C.J.
I concur in the majority opinion wherein the conviction of the appellant Thomas John Spegal is affirmed. I dissent from the majority opinion wherein the conviction of the appellant Michael Allen Williams is affirmed.
There is a total absence of evidence from which the trier of fact could find that Williams exerted unauthorized control over the car. No evidence exists which would support his having knowledge that the car was stolen. On the other hand *329Spegal had been told of the theft by the owner prior to the arrest. I vote to reverse the conviction of the appellant Williams.
Note. — Reported in 253 N. E. 2d 242.
