Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The People proved by legally sufficient evidence that the value of the stolen van exceeded $3,000 at the time that it was recovered from the defendant's possession ( see, Penal Law §§ 165.50,155.20 [1]; People v Adams, 198 AD2d 545, 546; People v Esposito, 171 AD2d 807, 808), and therefore his contention that the conviction of criminal possession of stolen property in the third degree must be reversed is without merit.
