In Wisconsin, crimes having to do with theft or property damage such as burglary, fraud, or arson, can include everything from stealing a TV set to burning down a large building.

Wisconsin Statutes 943.10 (3) state:
A person commits a burglary by entering premises with the intent of committing a felony against persons or property while on the premises, regardless of whether the person's actions while within the premises constitute a new crime or the continuation of an ongoing offense.

The State must prove 4 elements:

1. That you intentionally entered a building
2. That you entered the building without the consent of the person in lawful possession of that building
3. That you knew that the entry was without consent
4. That you entered the building with intent to steal or commit a felony

“Intent to steal” requires that you had the mental purpose to take and carry away movable property of another without their consent and that you intended to deprive the owner permanently of possession of the property. The charge becomes aggravated if you are armed upon entry or arm yourself after entering.

Wisconsin penalties for Burglary:
Burglary: 7 years prison (felony)
Armed Burglary: 40 years prison (felony)
