Theft is the completed or attempted theft of property or cash without personal contact. Incidents involving theft of property from within the sample household would classify as theft if the offender has a legal right to be in the house (such as a maid, delivery person, or guest). If the offender has no legal right to be in the house, the incident would classify as a burglary.
Theft includes:
- Completed - To successfully take without permission property or cash without personal contact between the victim and offender.
- Attempted - To unsuccessfully attempt to take property or cash without personal contact.
