Justice INGLIS delivered the opinion of the court:
Defendant, Jason Risch-Defina, appeals the trial court's order enhancing his conviction of theft of a firearm (720 ILCS 5/16-1(a)(4)(A) (West 1994)) to a Class 3 felony. The issue on appeal is whether the trial court erred in considering evidence of a prior theft of a firearm for which defendant was not convicted as a factor to enhance the offense to a Class 3 felony. We vacate the sentence and remand.
