SULLIVAN, J.,
concurs with separate opinion.
SULLIVAN, Judge, concurring.
I agree that the trial court did not err in refusing to give an instruction of conversion. However, I do so under the view that despite a semantic difference between theft and conversion as to the mens rea required, the crimes are actually one and the same. Irvin v. State (1986) 2d Dist.Ind.App., 501 N.E.2d 1139; Wojtowicz v. State (1987) 3d Dist.Ind.App., 510 N.E.2d 187 at 190 (Sullivan, J., concurring).
In all other respects I concur in the majority opinion.
