Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Theft of a dirt bike from the front yard of a house would be recorded as a property crime, as it involves the theft of personal property. The other answer choices are not applicable, as there was no violence involved in the crime, it was not a robbery as there was no force or threat of force used to take the property, and it was not auto-theft as it was specifically a dirt bike that was stolen.
