Opinion
September 17, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Charles Solomon, J.).
Defendant's claim that the People failed to prove that the value of the stolen car was more than $100 is unpreserved for appellate review and we decline to review it in the interest of justice. Were we to review this claim, we would find that the jury could have reasonably inferred that the vehicle was worth more than $100 based upon police testimony as to the vehicle's operability, photographs of the vehicle, and the fact that the owner, upon receiving the vehicle, chose to make repairs to the steering column and locks, which totaled $750 ( see, People v. Bolden, 249 A.D.2d 79; Matter of Moises O., 189 A.D.2d 687). Moreover, we do not find that the verdict was against the weight of the evidence.
