A burglary occurs at a residential property.

• A. 459C Burglary-Commerical
• B. 487 Theft
• C. 459R Burglary-Residential
• D. 601 Missing person

Answer: (C)

A burglary at a residential property is categorized as Burglary-Residential because burglary involves unlawful entry with intent to commit a crime, and the location type determines the classification. When the scene is a home or dwelling, the residential variant is used to reflect that setting. The commercial burglary code would apply to a business or non-residential location, which isn’t the case here. The theft code would be used if the main issue were simply taking property without the break-in element, and a missing person code is unrelated to a burglary incident. So the scenario fits Burglary-Residential best.
