burglary. robbery

Do you know the difference between a “robbery” and a “burglary”?

Both are acts of thefts, but they’re not interchangeable.

In a “robbery,” something is taken from another person.

In a “burglary,” someone enters a building or other space.

So, you can rob your neighbor, but you can only burglarize his house.
