SIMON SMITH, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE
RYDER, Acting Chief Judge.
Simon Smith appeals from his conviction and sentence for robbery. He raises two points on appeal. We find merit in his second argument that the trial court improperly included in the order of restitution the lost wages of the victim. The amount of restitution a probationer is required to pay the victim of a crime cannot exceed the amount of damages or loss caused directly or indirectly by a defendant's offense. Fresneda v. State, 347 So. 2d 1021 (Fla.1977); Morel v. State, 547 So. 2d 341 (Fla. 2d DCA 1989).
We affirm the appellant’s conviction and sentence, but reverse and set aside the order of restitution and remand for proceedings in accordance with this opinion.
FRANK and HALL, JJ., concur.

Walsingham v. State, 637 So. 2d 963 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994)…A 1991). Upon remand the trial court noted that it was empowered to choose between a life term, in accordance with our mandate, and a non-habitualized guidelines term of 7-9 years. The court imposed a life term, and we affirmed. Walsingham v. State, 590 So. 2d 1112 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991). The supreme court, however, quashed our decision as a result of its then recent holding in Burdick v. State, 594 So. 2d 267 (Fla.1992), i.e., that sentencing under the habitual offender statute is permissive, rather than mandator…
