Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Larceny-theft is the unlawful taking of property from someone without the use of force. In this case, the dirt bike was taken from the front yard without the use of force, making it a larceny-theft crime. Burglary involves the unlawful entry into a building with the intent to commit a crime, robbery involves the use of force or threat of force to take someone's property directly from them, and auto-theft involves the theft of a motor vehicle. None of these options fit with the scenario described.
