Jane Barn was shopping for school clothes with her children when her purse and automobile were taken. In Barn's purse were her car keys, credit and debit cards for herself and her children, as well as the children's Social Security cards and birth certificates needed for enrollment at school. Immediately after the purse and car were stolen, Rachel Thom attempted to use Barn's credit card at a local Exxon gas station, but the card was declined. The gas stations attendant recognized Thom because she had previously written bad checks and used credit cards that did not belong to her. Thom was later arrested while attempting to use one of Barn's checks to pay for merchandise at a Walmartwhere the clerk also recognized Thom from prior criminal activity. Thom claimed that she had not stolen Barn's purse or car, and that a friend had told her he had some checks and credit cards and asked her to try using them at Walmart. Thom was convicted at trial. She appealed, claiming that there was insufficient evidence that she committed credit- and debit-card theft.

Was the evidence sufficient to uphold her conviction?

Why or why not?
