Syllabus

Theft R.C. 2913.02 blank checks forgery R.C. 2913.31 allied offenses separate conduct consecutive sentences R.C. 2929.14(C)(4) restitution contrary to law. The theft of blank checks and the ensuing forging of those checks to steal a sum certain are not allied offenses subject to merger. The trial court made all the required consecutive sentencing findings, and the defendant failed to challenge whether the findings were supported by the record. The imposition of restitution was contrary to law because no evidence was offered in support of the amount of restitution actually imposed.
