"The trial court is not, however, limited to imposing restitution for losses resulting from crimes of which the defendant was convicted. [Citations.] A court may also consider crimes which were charged but dismissed [citation]; uncharged crimes, the existence of which is readily apparent from the facts elicited at trial [citation]; or even charges of which the defendant was acquitted, if justice requires they be considered. [Citation.]" (People v. Goulart (1990) 224 Cal.App.3d 71, 79.)
