Defendant appeals her conviction for criminal mischief in the third degree. ORS 164.345. She contends that the court erred in requiring that she pay $116.79 in restitution as a condition of probation. We affirm.

Defendant admitted tampering with the electricity meter at her residence in order to obtain electricity after the power was shut off. After accepting her guilty plea, the trial court suspended imposition of sentence, placed her on probation for one year and ordered as a condition of probation that she pay $116.79 as restitution to the victim, McMinnville Water Light Company. That amount included $94.62 for labor and service costs expended to repair the electric meter.

Defendant argues that the court erred in including the company's labor and service costs in the amount of restitution ordered. Relying on State v. Heath, 75 Or. App. 425, 706 P.2d 598 (1985), she asserts that a victim cannot recover as restitution hourly wages of employees that it would have had to pay, regardless of a defendant's conduct. Because the company would have had to maintain its equipment and pay its employees even if she had not tampered with the electric meter, she contends, it cannot recover the cost of the labor and service that it expended to repair it. The state agrees that Heath controls and concedes that the judgment should be reversed.

We reject the state's concession. ORS 137.106 (1) permits a court to order a defendant to pay restitution to the victim "[w]hen a person is convicted of criminal activities which have resulted in pecuniary damages." Under ORS 137.103 (2), pecuniary damages are

"all special damages, but not general damages, which a person could recover against the defendant in a civil action arising out of the facts or events constituting the defendant's criminal activities and shall include, but not be limited to, the money equivalent of property taken, destroyed, broken or otherwise harmed, and losses such as medical expenses and costs of psychological treatment or counseling."

In limiting a victim's recovery to special damages, ORS 137.103 (2) applies only to expenses that are actually incurred, easily measurable and, in the case of future expenses, reasonably predictable. State v. Hart, 299 Or. 128, 135, 699 P.2d 1113 (1985). Because labor costs were part of the expense actually incurred by the company in repairing the damage caused by defendant, they are recoverable under ORS 137.106 (1).

State v. Heath, supra, does not require a different result. In Heath, the defendants were convicted of disorderly conduct after they protested certain logging operations by using their bodies to block log truck traffic on a forest road. The trial court ordered restitution to the victim company, including the cost of lost truck and supervisory time that resulted from the protest. We reasoned that the estimated cost per hour of running the trucks did not constitute an expense actually incurred as a result of the defendant's activities, because that amount was the same, whether the trucks were running or sitting still. 75 Or App at 428. Similarly, although the protest diverted company supervisors from other work, the company did not have to pay them "any additional amounts for dealing with the protest." 75 Or App at 427. We held that, because the labor costs ordered as restitution did not represent financial loss directly attributable to the defendants' criminal conduct, they were not pecuniary damages. 75 Or App at 428.

That is not the situation in this case. Instead of merely preventing the victim's employees from working, defendant created additional work for them by tampering with the meter. The wages that the company paid to repair the meter constituted the expense actually incurred as a result of her criminal conduct. It follows that the trial court did not err in including labor and service costs in the restitution amount.
