Defendant was convicted of burglary, based on theft of two vacuum cleaners from retail store. Evidence was sufficient to allow rational jury to reasonably infer that Defendant intended to commit theft when he entered store. Inventory of Defendant's possessions in booking revealed he had no cash, credit cards, or debit cards, he and a cohort orchestrated plan to steal items by cohort buying identical items, returning through different store entrance, and then giving his receipt to Defendant who showed receipt as he left store. (DONOVAN and SPOMER, concurring.)
