It's illegal to "possess burglary tools with the intent to commit a burglary". Why that it is I am not sure, you would think it would just be evidence of intending to commit the actual crime. Maybe it is like a notion of pre-medition and professionalism or an excuse to grab people before the act. Though as far as I know there's no "possessing murder weapons with intent to murder" charge: just attempted murder and degrees of murder.
