Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Burglary laws vary by state, but not all states require a vehicle to be locked for a burglary to occur. The definition of burglary often involves unauthorized entry into a structure or vehicle with the intent to commit a crime inside, regardless of whether it was locked. Case law specifics can vary, but proving every door was locked is not a universal requirement for a burglary charge.
