Crimes Explained:
-A residential burglary occurs when someone enters a home to commit a crime, such as stealing property. Doors do not have to be locked even though we recommend it at all times for your safety. This is a felony.
-A vehicle burglary occurs when someone breaks into a locked vehicle, with their windows rolled up, and steals property. This is a felony.
-A theft from an unlocked vehicle is just that – Either a door is unlocked or a window is rolled down enough for someone to steal something without having to force their way inside. This is a misdemeanor if less than $950 worth of items are stolen. It’s a felony if more than $950 worth of items is stolen.
-A theft of vehicle parts includes catalytic converters, tailgates, license plates, and other similar parts on the outside of the vehicle.
