Property Crimes

Property crimes refer to illegal activities that involve the theft or destruction of someone else's property. Common examples include burglary (breaking and entering to commit theft), larceny (theft without force), vandalism (damaging property), and motor vehicle theft. These crimes typically do not involve physical harm to individuals but can lead to significant financial loss and emotional distress for victims. Property crimes are often motivated by financial gain and can occur in various settings, including homes, businesses, and public spaces. Law enforcement works to prevent and investigate these crimes to protect community safety and property rights.
