“Under single larceny doctrine, primary factor to be considered is intent of thief and question to be asked is whether thefts, although occurring successively within brief time frame, were part of one impulse, and circumstances to be considered that will bear upon this issue are location of items stolen, lapse of time between their taking, general and specific intent of thief, number of owners, and whether intervening events occurred between the takings.” Sagastume v. Com. 27 Va.App. 466, 499 S.E.2d 586 Va.App., (1998)
