PER CURIAM.

Upon review of the record, we agree with the finding of the trial court. Use of recently stolen property, together with a noncredible explanation as to the manner in which it came into possession, is sufficient proof of knowing use of stolen property. State v. Murphy, 253 Or. 444, 446, 455 P.2d 178 (1969).

Affirmed.
