STATE v. DIXON
PER CURIAM.
Marquel Dixon challenges the amount of restitution ordered following his Alford plea to the attempted taking of a motor vehicle. Dixon concedes he should pay restitution for the cost of towing the car, $173.50, and the cost of replacing the license plates, $46. But he contends he should not have to pay restitution of $612 for the loss of items that were in the car when it was stolen.
North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25, 91 S.Ct. 160, 27 L.Ed.2d 162 (1970).
The State concedes error pursuant to State v. Teeters, 81 Wn. App. 478, 914 P.2d 784 (1996) and State v. Woods, 90 Wn. App. 904, 953 P.2d 834 (1998). Dixon admitted that he bought the car from someone he knew was a car thief. The State originally charged Dixon with possession of stolen property but amended the charge as part of a plea agreement. The State acknowledges that there is no evidence of a causal connection between the crime of attempted taking and the loss of personal property that was in the car when it was stolen. We accept the concession of error.
We reverse the order imposing restitution and remand to the trial court for entry of a restitution order in the amount of $219.50.
