So, who has broke into their own home before?  My parents weren't home and I didn't have a key or a phone, so I had to.  It was pretty simple to, I took a putty knife and screw driver and poped off the screen, then used a putty knife to open the lock on the window (It wasn't locked the whole way, thankfully).  Took all of 10 minutes from teh time I got home.

Might I add, this isn't talk of illegal activity because it was breaking into my own home.

Once I had to break into my house at 4am, so I climbed through my sisters window, but she started screaming, so I stabbed her.

It also isnt call breaking and entering because it is your own home....

It is called entering in way other than door......

If you were outside, where did the putty knife and screwdriver come from?

Ten minutes is a long time, to pop a screen and slide open a window. You need more practice, Mr. Cat Burgalar. It should take you less then ten seconds.

I do it all the time when my nephew is a smartass and locks me out.

Glad to see your house is an easy target.... I know where I am holiday shopping this year.... Playing with your XBOX 360 will be even sweeter than me buying my own.

Not really, I've always had a keypad on the garage and/or a key to the door.

Putty knife and screwdriver came from shed.  And I don't have a 360.

Also, it was just luck that the window wasn't completely locked, and usually the alarm is on.

So I any 8 year old is able to break into a house in under ten minutes using the tools found at the location, it would take a theif magical powers to do the same thing?

You were going to get a 360 for Christmas this year but not anymore since I took it from under Mommies bed while you were at school today. Good thing a window was partically unlocked and the alarm wasnt set....

Yes it is. You are breaking and entering into your own property..


If you were outside, where did the putty knife and screwdriver come from?

Garage?

Ten minutes is a long time, to pop a screen and slide open a window. You need more practice, Mr. Cat Burgalar. It should take you less then ten seconds.

The window was locked.

And yes, I have broken into my own house with my stepdad. We had just come back form Big Bear and my mother had the key but wasn't coming until the morning. We went into our garage (separate from the house)and got a crowbar and pushed one of the older doors into (not deadbolted).

http://dictionary.law.com/default2.asp?selected=98&bold=%7C%7C%7C%7C - Yeah for a dictionary!!!!

breaking and entering
n. 1) the criminal act of entering a residence or other enclosed property through the slightest amount of force (even pushing open a door), without authorization. If there is intent to commit a crime, this is burglary. If there is no such intent, the breaking and entering alone is probably at least illegal trespass, which is a misdemeanor crime. 2) the criminal charge for the above.

Hurray?

The window wasnt locked if he was able to push it open without breaking it....

No it's not...how do you not see that?

Legally you still live there. They are still your guardians, and thats your residence until it says otherwise in a legal document.

It isnt wrong because of the wording but wrong because you are missinterpeting it by focusing only on the three bolded words.

The legal definition is what matters because we are having a legal disscussion.

The definition proves you wrong because what you are focusing on is out of context. It is in there becaue there is a bunch of incorrect informantion or inaccurate information on the web because people can put whatever they want without accuracy checks.

my parents wanted me out, therefor revoking thier consent to enter

And since I dont own any of the house I am not legally entitled to enter it

I think you need to talk to a lawyer....

Your parent cant revoke their consent to allow you to enter a residence just because you were a bad little boy...

You are a legal tenent because you parents own the house and you are still in their legal custody.

I broke into my friends house once with another friend. The friend I did it with was a paperboy, and left his paper bag thing up in our other friends room.

So we climbed on his roof and forced open a window, got his paper bag, then left through the garage door. It was funny.

Not necessarily in the legal sense, but in the way in which WGP Guy had meant it. This was a thread to see how many people had "broken in" and "entered" their house. Not a legal discussion.

Maybe a more suitable title would have been "how many people have had to break a door or window to enter their own house." But it seems a little long, eh?

I don't remember ever having to break into my house. I have roken into my friends apartment when he locked us out....we tried to do it without any damage but the window ended up breaking, and the landlord was there first thing in the morning all mad. The window was like $40 or so, probably cheaper than it would have been to call a locksmith, except we did have to clean up the glass.

I've broken into both my cars because of locking my keys inside, about 3 times or maybe 4 with my 1990 Ford Taurus and then I just did it for my first time in my '95 Altima the other day!

I had to do it once to get into my house.  I just popped of the spring and climbed through. 

I had to do it twice for my friend at his house.  Once I climbed onto his porch roof(pilled a bunch of stuff together from his shed) and the other i climbed through his basement window(one of those basements that are in the ground like half way.)

If you have to ask permission to go in your own house, then something is wrong in your family relationships.

... Its not B and E if its your house... You live there...

Before i could drive i used to get locked out of my house all the time, i would just forget my keys.

Ive broken down the door by just busting the doorjam, but ive also been pretty creative.

Ive credit carded the lock.

Done the same with my library card and school planner.

The most creative ive ever been was popping the sliding glass door off the track to get into a house i was living at.

Ive broken into a house for a friend who was also locked out. I know what doors can be credit carded and wich ones cant. Its not too dificult.

Now i keep keys in my wallet.

The front door was locked, but the garage wasn't, but the door from the garage to the inside of the house was locked, so he had to get the tools out.....stop smoking bammer.
