We review a restitution order for abuse of discretion. (People v. Giordano (2007) 42 Cal.4th 644, 663.) "To facilitate appellate review of the trial court's restitution order, the trial court must take care to make a record of the restitution hearing, analyze the evidence presented, and make a clear statement of the calculation method used and how that method justifies the amount ordered." (Id. at p. 664.)
