Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Defendant appeals from convictions by a jury of burglary and theft. (K.S.A. 1973 Supp. 21-3715 and 21-3701.) The issue on appeal concerns the search of defendant's vehicle and subsequent seizure of a high-speed sander or grinder and a heavy duty three-quarter inch drill. On the evening of June 14, 1972, the sheriff's office of Kearny County was notified by two young men that they had observed suspicious conduct on the part of a driver of a white station wagon on a rural road near a farmhouse. Within a few minutes after receipt of such report the defendant in his station wagon was stopped by officer McCue of the sheriff's force. McCue questioned defendant and checked the station wagon. He noticed several tools, including the drill and grinder, which were in plain view in the rear of the vehicle. McCue also questioned the owner of a nearby farmhouse and was informed that nothing was missing. Defendant was allowed to proceed despite the fact that he was unable to produce his driver's license.
