They are all theft. Shoplifting is obvious, robbery is by force and burglary is breaking and entering secretively. The amount stolen is only legally relevant in shoplifting.I wonder what the difference between shop lifting, burglary, theft and robbery are in Missouri?
Just wondering why people are saying this was a robbery at the convenient store? Each State has its own rules and laws on it...I suppose? some States have shop lifting of over $1000 then turns to a higher level crime than a misdemeanor...some States have it over $400....this kind of thing that changes...and sentencing also...each State would seem to have their own laws....?
At least so I think, but google is better at this than I.
