Court of Appeals of New York

Defendant's grand theft conviction is affirmed where: 1) one of defendant's prior criminal acts was properly admitted to show his relationship with a fencing operation; and 2) another act was improperly admitted to prove that defendant was an experienced trailer thief, but the error was harmless because fingerprint evidence implicating defendant was overwhelming.
