Burglary

Burglary is a crime that is committed when a person unlawfully enters a dwelling or property with the intent to commit a crime. One does not actually have to commit the crime to be charged with burglary. As long as you just set foot onto the premises with the intention of committing a crime, you may be charged with burglary.
