Appeal from Circuit Court, Dade County; Fredericka G. Smith, Judge.

BASKIN, Judge.

Because police consulted with defendant Johnson concerning alternatives to impoundment prior to conducting an inventory search of his car, we find the search was reasonable under the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Miller v. State, 403 So.2d 1307 (Fla. 1981).
