*54MORRISON, Judge
(dissenting).
I cannot agree to the reversal of the conviction on the grounds stated in the majority opinion. The testimony quoted in their opinion was from Officer Rivera. Elsewhere in the record prior to Rivera’s testimony, I find that the witness Larry Glenn, a confessed thief, testified that on ‘‘a few occasions” appellant had told him that he (appellant) could take all of the stolen spark plugs which Glenn would bring him. This testimony of the confessed thief renders harmless the testimony of the officer that known thieves and burglars were seen at the appellant’s home and place of business.
