Re: definition of burglary

Of course not. But there's difference between larceny (steeling) and
burglary. Both are crimes. But the poster asked about the definition
of burglary. To answer that, we need to know the state in which he
resides.

I seriously doubt he committed burglary in any state, however. He
didn't break into any dwelling.
