Burglary is the felony of breaking into and entering the house of another at night with intent to steal, extended by statute to cover the breaking into and entering of any of various buildings, by night or day.
The criminal statutes concerning burglary differ somewhat from state to state. In some states remaining in a building or house without permission to commit a crime is also a burglary. In that situation, the entry can be legal and turns into a burglary if a crime is committed later. This covers the situation where a person stays in a store until after it closes and then steals items or commits some other crime.
Burglary is the unlawful entrance to someones property and the removal of items not theirs, without permission of the owner. In some jurisdictions, that is different from breaking and entering, since in breaking and entering as defined in those jurisdictions, no other crime is committed.
Burglary (also called breaking and entering and sometimes housebreaking) is a crime, the essence of which is entry into a building for the purposes of committing an offence. Usually that offence will be theft, but most jurisdictions specify others which fall within the ambit of burglary.

∙ 12y agoI'm answering this from the point of view of the law of England and Wales. Burglary is covered by:
Section 9 of the Theft ActA person commits burglary when they:a) Enter a building (or any part of a building) as a trespasser
- With intent to steal or inflict any great bodily harm on any person therein or cause unlawful damage to the building or anything therein.
b) Having entered a building (or any part of a building) as a trespasser
- Steals or inflicts any great bodily harm on any person therein.
- Weapon of offence (made or adapted to injure or incapacitate)
- Imitation Firearm (having the appearance of a firearm)
- Firearm (including air weapons)
- Explosive.
(one way to remember the elements of the crime)
So, as I was taught in Police training, aggravated burglary occurs when someone takes his WIFE with him.
