Burglary is illegally entering a building, vehicle, or freight car without the owner's permission with the intent to commit a felony, steal, or assault someone, or actually committing those crimes inside; entering means any part of your body or any object controlled by you (including remote-controlled devices) intruding into the space. Burglary of a building other than a home is a Class D felony (2 to 12 years in prison, up to $5,000 fine), while burglary of a vehicle is a Class E felony (1 to 6 years in prison, up to $3,000 fine).

Penalty: Class E felony; 1-6 years; fine up to $3,000
