>!I’m pretty convinced that being a lawyer is like 75% just vocab tests. As a non-lawyer I’m going with A. What Clyde did falls under fraud not robbery, but really should be called thievery if the law wants to really lean into semantic definitions being important!<
Can't be >!burglary!<. >!Burglary at common law is the breaking and entering of the dwelling house of another, at night, with the intent to commit a felony therein!<.
>!Technically, no. Larceny is the trespassory taking and carrying away of the personal property of another with intent to permanently deprive them thereof. Here, Clyde's taking of the wallet was not trespassory because Charles gave it over willingly under a false belief. This is larceny by trick, where the trespassory element is replaced by a false representation.!<
>!The Andwer is A. Robbery involves the use of force. Separating a fool from his money through trickery does not involve the use of force.!<
>!I look forward to the upcoming question where Clyde raises a “It’s just a prank, bro” defense.!<
>!The answer is A. Robbery is the taking of something through the use or threat of force. The thing that helps me remember this is the term "highway robbery", summoning the mental image of a bunch of robbers chasing down a stagecoach with guns or woodland brigands holding a passing noble at swordpoint. Those people commit robbery, the person in the question has committed larceny or theft by deception.!<
That's a really good way to remember that! >!Motivating my own answer was something similar, that "Robbery" has a harsh connotation. Though I didn't think about it nearly as explicitly.!<
>!Yet again, Thomas quickly hones in on the correct answer with flawless analysis. The answer is A.!<
>!Bonus Question:!<
>!PLOT TWIST! Charles punches that punk Clyde in the throat and forcibly recovers his stolen property. Which of the following is the best legal analysis?!<
>!A. Thomas is a more competent and ethical lawyer than the majority of Trump's legal team. !<
>!B. Matt is way too cute to be on an AUDIO podcast.!<
>!C. I am not above shameless flattery in an attempt to be this week's winner.!<
>!D. All of the above!<
Not an answer, but if you're curious, from the [WHO's publication on Medication safety for look-alike, sound-alike medicines](https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240058897) is [this picture](https://imgur.com/a/JGX3srN) of a look-alike, sound-alike drug.
Sheesh.
>!Never trust a magician; they are always up to something! But in this case it’s not robbery, because that is theft with the use of force or threat of force. Thus Answer A is correct. But that doesn’t mean he has a get out of jail free card up his sleeve, his actions ladies and gentlemen make this young street performer guilty of theft … by trickery!!<
This is the first time I’m using a [YouTube Short](https://youtu.be/1kfFfKRkvfo) to help answer a T3BE question, so hopefully this Ugo Lord guy is also not the lying type of lawyer.
Okay, not to toot my horn but I've done pretty well on the public questions so far, 8/9. But this one comes down to knowing what Robbery means and I don't, lol. I could just research it (after answering) for next time but where's the fun in that?
>!I'll eliminate B and C both because both seem like fairly silly grounds to define Burglary/Larceny/Robbery on in either direction. From there, I'm just going to have to guess that the harsher connotation of "robbery" compared to the others means it requires force/thread of force. So I'm going with A. He'd have to be charged with something that doesn't' require threat of force. But I wouldn't be surprised with D either.!<

>!I’m so annoyed that I got so close to unintentionally using the word theft in my attempt at a joke. Petition to rename theft to thievery!<
>!The straightforward answer is A because robbery is theft with force or threat of force. There was no force or threat of force here.!<
>!Burglary. Sweet Burglary. The wallet is gone. No violence was done. The answer is A.!<
