Burglary is when a person goes somewhere where they should not be, like in another person's house or car, and does a crime there. If someone goes somewhere that they should not, but they do not do a crime, it is trespassing, not burglary. Burglary is against the law. If the police can prove that a person is a burglar as well as the crime they did there, they can be sent to prison for longer than if they had done the crime in public. A person who does a burglary is a burglar.
