Burglary
Burglary is the act of unlawfully entering a physical structure (i.e., home, business, warehouse, etc.) to commit a crime. If the crime, or attempted crime, takes place in a building other than a residence, it is a state jail felony punishable by up to 2 years in jail and a fine of up to $10,000. If the crime was committed or attempted in a home or other type of residence, it is a second degree felony. You can be charged with a first degree felony if you enter a residence and seek to commit a felony other than theft.
