ok me and my friends found an adbandned home where we live and went in there is some kool stuff in there too like a tv and a old radio like an antique and then a bunch of garbe and rats lol it has been adbandoned for atleast 5 years and my question is it illegal to go in the house and take the tv and radio and stuff there hasnt been anyone in there in 5 years and we dont think they have any plan on comming back so could we take the stuff? and if we did and its illegal whats the worst that could happen we are both 18 and want to make sure before we do it
Yea stealing is stealing. maybe find out who owns the place and ask. if there is something you really want. they probably dont even care anymore
Yes it is stealing. Taking what is not yours is stealing and the house belongs to your local municipality.
Burglary…C felony…4-8 years
Theft….D felony…1-3 years
Residential Entry…D felony
take your pick
