Final answer:

An inhabited camper or vessel does not need to be locked to be subject to a burglary. Burglary is defined by the unlawful entry with intent to commit a crime, not the presence of locks.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question deals with the concept of burglary and whether a camper or vessel needs to be locked to be the subject of such a crime. The statement that an inhabited camper or vessel need not be locked to be the subject of a burglary is true. Burglary is defined as the unlawful entry into a building or other location for the purpose of committing an offence, usually theft. The key element is the intent to commit a crime, not the state of the locks. Therefore, even if a camper or vessel is not locked, it can still be burglarized if an individual unlawfully enters with the intent to commit a crime.
