Judge EAGLES
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
I concur in the majority opinion except for that portion which approves restitution of $918.90 as a condition of probation from which I respectfully dissent. As the majority notes, the $918.90 figure is the value of unrecovered stolen property plus the amount of damages to stereo equipment damaged in the course of the breaking and entering. Because the defendant was acquitted of the charge of larceny, restitution to the victim for the value of unrecovered stolen property, $360.00, is inappropriate. State v. Caudle, 276 N.C. 550, 173 S.E. 2d 778 (1970); State v. Bass, 53 N.C. App. 40, 280 S.E. 2d 7 (1981). I would remand for modification of the judgment’s conditions of probation to provide for restitution of $558.90, the value of damages to property incurred in the course of the breaking and entering.
