1 sentence

2014Leggs v. State, 966 N.E.2d 204, 207-08 (Ind.Ct.App.2012). *841 Hayden contends that the charging information’s allegation that he took “property,” without specifying what property was alleged to have been taken, “places him in jeopardy should he be tried again for theft of property because this Court cannot determine, from the information, what property was the subject of theft.” (Appellant’s Br. at 19.) That is, “[h]e stole something, but know not what [sic].” (Appellant’s Br. at 19.) He argues as a result that the information is inadequate as to both Burglary and Theft.
