So I can just break into your house and steal everything.

As long as I don’t make a move against you, its all good.

“So I can just break into your house and steal everything.”

So, where in this did it jump from garage to house? If you come in my house, at night, uninvited, you will be shot. And, I won’t go to jail.

Enough. Take your anger issues elsewhere.

In some locations, that is exactly correct. A burglar can literally walk out your front door with your television set and you cannot legally do anything to him unless he threatens you with assault. Even then, your lawful options may be very limited.

You are supposed to report the crime to the Police and wait for them to do something about it. Most likely they will do nothing effective.

It is monstrously stupid. In some areas, it is also the law. Best to be aware of the laws in your area. They may not be in your favor.
