¶1*546 Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Frank B. Kessler, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

¶3DOWNEY, Chief Judge.
¶4By amended information appellant was charged with burglary of a motor vehicle in violation of Section 810.02, Florida Statutes (1975). The information alleged the vehicle was "the property of Strazulla Brothers Co., Inc." The proof of ownership relied on by the State was adduced through Joseph P. Strazulla, President of Strazulla Brothers Co., Inc. He referred to the vehicle in question as "my girl's car" which he was driving on the occasion of the burglary. He also referred to the car as "my car" when describing the proximity of appellant's automobile to the vehicle in question.
¶5The recent cases[1] holding that ownership is any possession that is rightful as against the burglar would seem to make it rather easy for the State to prove "ownership" of the burglarized property. However, the State still must prove the allegations as laid in the information. We find the proof here woefully inadequate.
¶6Accordingly, the judgment appealed from is reversed and the cause is remanded with directions to discharge the appellant.
¶7REVERSED AND REMANDED with directions.
¶8CROSS and DAUKSCH, JJ., concur.
