In crime perils, which is defined as theft of property from within a premises by a person who unlawfully enters the premises?

• A. Theft
• B. Burglary
• C. Robbery
• D. Mysterious disappearance

Answer: (B)

Burglary is the act of unlawfully entering a building or structure and taking property from inside. The key elements here are the unlawful entry and the theft that occurs within the premises. This distinguishes it from simple theft, which doesn’t require breaking in, and from robbery, which involves taking from a person with force or fear. Mysterious disappearance describes property that vanishes without any evidence of entry. So the described scenario—theft of property from inside a building by someone who has unlawfully entered—fits burglary best.
