In re E.V. CA6
Minor E.V. admitted stealing or possessing several cars that did not belong to him, among other crimes, over a period of one year. At issue here is a victim restitution order entered by the juvenile court to compensate a victim of one of those car thefts. The restitution amount included lost wages incurred by the car owner’s daughter when she drove the recovered car to Southern California to have it repaired by the owner’s mechanic. Minor argues that the juvenile court’s restitution order must be reversed because the lost wages were caused by the decision to repair the car in Southern California rather than by minor’s criminal conduct. For the reasons stated here, we find no abuse of discretion and therefore must affirm the restitution order.
