agree  Nelida Kreer: I said as much in my agree above. Good input.
3 hrs
agree  Steven Huddleston: This is correct.
5 hrs
agree  Nikolaj Widenmann: Agree - however, you don't have to remove any goods for it to be burglary; having the "intent to commit a felony" is sufficient (Black's Law Dictionary)
7 hrs
  -> it is sufficient under common law which Black's law dictionary refers to - under Neoroman legal systems - the conduct of the arrested person has to fit exactly the description of the crime or they cannot be charged or convicted of that crime
agree  jude dabo: correct
