Sognier, Judge,
concurring specially.
I agree with Judge Beasley that the judgment in this case is correct because the items were seized under a valid inventory search under South Dakota v. Opperman, 428 U. S. 364 (96 SC 3092, 49 *885LE2d 1000) (1976) and Colorado v. Bertine, 479 U. S. 367 (107 SC 738, 93 LE2d 739) (1987), and not because of a search incident to a lawful arrest under the Belton principles (New York v. Belton, 453 U. S. 454 (101 SC 2860, 69 LE2d 768) (1981)). However, I cannot concur in all that is postulated in her special concurrence.
I am authorized to state that Judge Carley and Judge Benham join in this special concurrence.
