The opinion

CALLISTER, Justice

(concurring).

I concur. However, it should be noted that the plaintiff brought this suit to recover the value of the jeep and trailer and not for the stock or its value. Plaintiff’s evidence was to the effect that the reasonable value of the jeep and trailer was $2,050 and the trial court made a finding to this effect. By coincidence, the value of the 68,333 shares of stock, calculated at 3‡ per share, amounted to $2,049.99. It was upon the latter that the court awarded judgment. In my opinion this was error and judgment should have been awarded for the reasonable value of the jeep and trailer. Inasmuch as the disparity between the two values amounts to only one cent, the judgment should be affirmed.

HENRIOD, J., did not participate.
