BECK, Judge,
concurring:
I concur. While the result is correct, this court is not the proper forum to reject a principle of law established by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
The majority correctly notes that Timko was decided on federal constitutional grounds. However, it is inescapable that our state Supreme Court decided Timko. If a retreat is to be sounded from Timko, the proper staging ground is *316in the state Supreme Court, even if Timko was decided solely on federal grounds.
I concur, nevertheless, because the search can be upheld on a plain view theory. See Commonwealth v. Fleck, 324 Pa.Super. 227, 233, 471 A.2d 547, 550 (1984); Commonwealth v. Martin, 252 Pa.Super. 265, 268, 381 A.2d 491, 492 (1977).
Accordingly, I concur.
