GARRARD, Judge,
dissenting in part.
While I concur in part II of the majority opinion, I respectfully dissent to the decision that the trial court could not transfer its restitution order from the burglary conviction which we vacated to the theft conviction which we affirmed. In its original sentencing order the court placed Wilson on probation for seven years of his fifteen year sentence for burglary. As a condition of that probation the court ordered Wilson to pay restitution to the victims. When we vacated the burglary conviction, the court shifted the order for restitution to the remaining theft conviction. While I agree that Greer v. State, 680 N.E.2d 526 (Ind.1997) is not controlling, I find the situation here sufficiently similar to analogize it to that in Greer. Since the court- originally ordered restitution as a condition of probation, I would find that it had the authority to transfer the restitution order to a different conviction in the same proceeding where, on appeal, we reversed the conviction to which the restitution order was originally attached.
