  •                 gave conflicting stories about the reason he was out. A search of the area
    where Mikolajczyk originally spotted appellant revealed a screwdriver set
    with one bit removed. The bit, along with the driver, was on the curb.
    When Mikolajczyk asked appellant what he was doing with the tools,
    appellant shrugged his head, lowered it, and said, "I don't know," but did
    not deny possession of the set. From this evidence, a rational trier of fact
    could reasonably infer that appellant committed the charged offense. See
    NRS 205.080; Palmer v. State, 
    112 Nev. 763
    , 768-69,

    , 217, 
    69 P.3d 694

    sustain a conviction). Accordingly, we
    ORDER the judgment of the juvenile court AFFIRMED.
