Then that's a crime. The innocent motivation doesn't wash away the guilty one.

- Dylan16807 5y agoIf they walked through an already-open door with the intent to steal, entering wouldn't be burglary, at least not under the rules I'm used to. If they had to break open the door, entering would be burglary. Using a key they were supposed to have, to enter a building they were supposed to be able to enter? I would say it should be treated like the former case, not the latter case. US law may not always agree with me, and apparently there are states where shoplifting can count as burglary. But I say stretching the definition that far is ridiculous.
