And um can I when I go I get the chance to though. >> Chance to what? >> Apologize to the folks over there. I really did not. Man, I was not trying to steal nothing. Um I wasn't trying to trespass with them. I'm sure I thought that was hard. And that probably be a good idea. >> Just coming on somebody's property going inside their greenhouse is not burglary. You got to do what to get a burglary? Unlawfully enter and then do what? What's your elements for burglary? >> Intentionally, and knowingly with the intention to commit a what? >> A felony. >> Or theft. >> Theft. So, someone just comes in there and leaves. That's all they do. Can you show that they committed a theft or intended to commit a theft? Can you show that they attempted to set building on fire or assault somebody? No. >> Okay. >> So, what do you have >> right now? >> What would you have if you didn't have that >> bucket? >> No, skip the bucket. I just said someone comes into a building and leaves and that's all you can prove. What do you have? What offense? >> Just comes into a building and leaves. >> Yeah. >> Criminal trespass. >> Okay. What if you find property that the owner says was inside the building, but then you prove it was removed from the building, and then in the process, you find something that's put inside that bucket that's not her property, but then says it's similar to the description of what she thought she saw him carrying. I suggest somebody put that in there and then remove the bucket outside the building. What do you have now? That's >> you have burglary of a building. >> One's a misdemeanor, it's a felony. >> You see why it's important that we put all these pieces together and you make that phone call. Okay. So, if a if a reliable piece of information is the fact that you found his assumed property >> inside that buck, it would be what? >> Good. All right. Just stand up. Uh, >> can I hit that key? >> No. >> Hey, we can we can get the key. >> They have. >> Can you step over that bar up there, Malachi? >> I think Yeah, you're pretty good at getting over fences. Go ahead. >> You didn't? >> No. >> It's got a It's got an actual lock through. No, that's >> just step through here. >> No, it's uh you're going burglary of a building. So, go ahead.
