v.
The STATE.
No. A06A1115.
Court of Appeals of Georgia.
September 22, 2006.
Reconsideration Denied October 11, 2006.

ADAMS, Judge.
William Conley appeals after a jury convicted him on two felony counts of theft by taking. We affirm.
1. Conley contends that he was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to felony theft by taking because the indictment failed to specifically allege either that the value of the items stolen exceeded $500 or that the items were motor vehicles. Conley asserts that such allegations were necessary to put him on notice that he was charged with felony violations and to enable the judge to impose felony sentences.
"Due process of law requires that an indictment put the defendant on notice of the crimes with which he is charged and against which he must defend." (Citation and punctuation omitted.) Stinson v. State, 279 Ga. 177, 178(2), 611 S.E.2d 52 (2005). But "[i]n testing the sufficiency of an indictment, it must be borne in mind that the indictment need not quote literally the exact language of the statute which the defendant allegedly violated." (Citation omitted.) Bostic v. State, 173 Ga.App. 494(1), 326 S.E.2d 849 (1985). "The purpose of an indictment is to allow the defendant to prepare his defense intelligently and to protect him from double jeopardy." (Footnote omitted.) Dowdell v. State, 278 Ga.App. 142, 145(2), 628 S.E.2d 226 (2006).
Count 1 of the indictment against Conley alleged that on or about April 24, 2002, he unlawfully took "the property of another, to-wit: a model BX22-LB3B2 Kubota tractor, series # 50386, the property of Mason Tractor Company, with intent to deprive the owner of said property. . . ." Count 2 of the indictment alleged that on or about May 9, 2003, he unlawfully took "property of another, to-wit: a 2001 Chevrolet Camaro Z28, black in color, VIN 2G1FP22G612109244,[1] the property of June *440 Walker Chevrolet, Blue Ridge, Georgia, with the intent to deprive the owner of the property. . . ."
Under OCGA § 16-8-2, a person is guilty of theft by taking when he or she "unlawfully takes or, being in lawful possession thereof, unlawfully appropriates any property of another with the intention of depriving him of the property. . . ." A violation of this statute is punished as a misdemeanor unless, inter alia, the property taken exceeds $500 in value or the property is a motor vehicle. OCGA § 16-8-12(a)(1), (5)(A).[2]
Thus, Georgia law does not establish two theft by taking crimes, one a misdemeanor and the other a felony. Rather "[t]here is only one such crime, and upon conviction for it, the punishment only is determined by the value of the property taken." (Citation and punctuation omitted.) Parnell v. State, 151 Ga.App. 756, 757(1), 261 S.E.2d 481 (1979). A conviction, therefore, cannot be reversed by the failure of an indictment to allege that the property was a motor vehicle or to allege its value. The only question for this Court is whether the felony sentences were authorized by the evidence. Id. But Conley chose not to furnish this Court with a trial transcript showing the evidence in this case, asserting instead that his arguments could be resolved from the documents in the record.
Without a transcript, we are unable to determine whether the evidence supported the trial court's imposition of a felony sentence. The indictments appear to allege the theft of motor vehicles. See Browning v. State, 207 Ga.App. 547, 428 S.E.2d 441 (1993) (tractor is a motor vehicle under theft by taking statute where evidence showed that it was self-propelled and valued at over $500); Parnell v. State, 151 Ga.App. at 757(2), 261 S.E.2d 481 (upholding felony conviction based upon the evidence where indictment alleged only the theft of a "1937 Dodge"). And a presumption exists under Georgia law "that a trial judge, acting as a public official, faithfully and lawfully performs the duties devolving upon him." (Citation and punctuation omitted.) Kelly v. State, 238 Ga.App. 691, 693(1), 520 S.E.2d 32 (1999). In the absence of a transcript or any evidence to the contrary, we must presume that the trial judge properly considered the evidence at trial in imposing felony sentences on these counts. See Hudson v. State, 242 Ga.App. 218, 220(3), 529 S.E.2d 218 (2000).
2. Conley next asserts that he was convicted of only one count of theft by taking because the indictment did not allege dates or other facts as essential averments of the offense. In addition, he asserts that the crimes were part of the same transaction, and thus could only be punished as one crime, citing, inter alia, Hubbard v. State, 168 Ga.App. 778, 310 S.E.2d 556 (1983). These arguments have no merit.
"Where an averment in one count of an accusation or indictment distinguishes it from all other counts, either by alleging a different set of facts or a different date which is made an essential averment of the transaction, the State may on conviction punish the defendant for the various crimes." (Citation and punctuation omitted; emphasis in original.) Simmons v. State, 271 Ga.App. 330, 332(2), 609 S.E.2d 678 (2005).
Additionally, the Hubbard opinion sets out the standard for determining whether a defendant charged with multiple crimes may be subject to multiple convictions and punishments:
[U]nless otherwise provided by statute, a defendant convicted under an indictment charging two or more distinct offenses may be punished for both or all, if each offense requires proof of some fact or element not required to establish the other offense. However, for separate offenses charged in one indictment to carry separate punishments, they must rest on distinct criminal acts. If they were committed at the same time and place and parts of a continuous criminal act, and inspired by the same criminal intent, they are susceptible of only one punishment.
(Citations and punctuation omitted; emphasis in original.) Hubbard v. State, 168 Ga. App. at 779(2), 310 S.E.2d 556.
*441 The indictment in this case charged Conley with committing two thefts, approximately one year apart, involving property from two different owners. Accordingly, he was charged with two distinct offenses, each requiring proof of facts or elements not required to establish the other offense. Thus, the trial court properly sentenced him for two distinct crimes. See Graham v. State, 266 Ga. 543, 544(3), 468 S.E.2d 363 (1996); Simmons v. State, 271 Ga.App. at 332(2), 609 S.E.2d 678.
Judgment affirmed.
BLACKBURN, P.J., and MIKELL, J., concur.
