Hungry Harold goes by the home of Juanita Martinez. Juanita has just finished baking a cherry pie and sets it in the open windowsill to cool. Harold smells the pie from the sidewalk. It is twilight; while still light, the sun has officially set. Harold reaches into the window frame and removes the pie. Technically, has Harold committed burglary? What are the issues here based on the definition of burglary?

Answer and Explanation:

Burglary can be defined as the point at which an individual is illicitly breaking in or submitting constrained passage or plundering and so forth, would be considered under the meaning of burglary.

The act of making an entry inside a building is what is considered as burglary. This definition, has a fundamental drawback, where explicitly making an entry into a premise is needed.

With that definition, gathering or grabbing a pie from the window still could likewise be alluded to as burglary.
