Minor P.T. appeals a restitution order made pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code1 section 730.6. He contends there was insufficient evidence the victim suffered any economic loss from P.T.’s conduct and the court’s order was arbitrary and capricious. We affirm. FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY On July 4, 2013, Ripon police officers responded to a report of a car doing donuts on park property. P.T. and a companion (17-year-old D.P.) fled in a van with the officers in pursuit. The van reached speeds of 80 miles per hour and ran three stop signs before hitting a sycamore tree. At that point, the minors fled on foot. P.T. was apprehended and arrested, and he admitted that he was driving the van during the pursuit. Four days later, the San Joaquin District Attorney filed a six-count juvenile wardship petition (§ 602) against P.T. He was charged with three felony offenses, evading arrest (Veh. Code, § 2800.2, subd (a); count 1), receiving stolen property (Pen. Code, § 496, subd. (a); count 2), and vandalism (Pen. Code, § 594, subd. (a)(3); count 3), and three misdemeanor offenses, resisting a peace officer (Pen. Code, § 148, subd. (a)(1); count 4), driving without a license (Veh. Code, § 12500, subd. (a); count 5), and hit and run with property damage (Veh. Code, § 20002, subd. (a); count 6). On August 28, 2013, the parties reached a plea agreement whereby P.T. agreed to admit the allegations of evading arrest (count 1) and hit and run (count 6) with a maximum confinement of three years two months in exchange for dismissal of the remaining counts and, as stated by P.T.’s attorney, “regarding the vandalism count [count 3], there will be no request for restitution of this minor.” The juvenile court accepted P.T.’s admission of counts 1 and 6 as knowing, voluntary, and intelligent, and
