PRENTICE, Justice,
concurring and dissenting.
I concur in the affirmance of the burglary conviction and reversal of the habitual offender conviction. However, for the reasons stated in my prior dissenting opinions in Morgan v. State (1982), Ind., 440 N.E.2d 1087, 1091 and Washington v. State (1982), Ind., 441 N.E.2d 1355, 1360, I dissent to the alternative remand for retrial of the habitual offender count. I would direct sentencing upon the theft conviction without such a retrial.
