A burglary at a storefront is reported. Which code best matches this incident?

• A. 418 Civil matter-stand by
• B. 459C Burglary-Commerical
• C. 487 Theft
• D. 601 Missing person

Answer: (B)

This tests recognizing the right crime category for a property break-in at a business. A storefront is a commercial property, so the incident fits burglary of a commercial location. The best match is the code that specifically labels commercial burglary, because it distinguishes this from other crimes like simple theft or non-criminal civil matters. The civil matter stand by code is for non-criminal civil processes; theft is a separate offense focused on taking property, not the act of breaking in; and missing person is unrelated to any property crime.
