Hi Brian,
I used the word "stole" in relation to what happened to me - Perhaps theft would have been better!
I've heard of a house being burgled, but never heard of a car being burgled - maybe it is a trunk/boot hood/bonnet thing!
Kindest regards,
Maurice

Hi Maurice --

If they entered the vehicle, or any portion thereof, without your permission, in furtherance of another crime (theft, in this case), they are guilty of burglary. If they had stolen the entire car, including the contents therein, they'd be guilty of theft (and, in this case, grand theft). :)

Brian,
This debate could go on for years,

Burglary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Burglary (also called breaking and entering[1] and sometimes housebreaking[2]) 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. Commission of burglary is normally referred to as to burgle (in British English) or burglarize (in American English).

:)
Cheers!!
Maurice

Maurice --

It's not really a debate, is it? The definition you posted from Wikipedia is the same as what I said in the post above.
