478: Burgle, Rob, and Steal Mar 30, 2016

There is often confusion over the differences between 'burgle', 'rob', and 'steal', and although they are similar, for the sake of clarity it is important to know how they are not the same. 'Burgle' is short for 'burglarize', and involves entering a building to perpetrate a crime, which may involve stealing i.e. thieving something. 'Robbery' is a specific type of stealing, but to fit the definition, one must employ threats or force.
