Is a person caught trying to pick a lock of a store an example of break and enter?

  1. True

  2. False

The correct answer is: False

The correct answer is False. This would not be considered "break and enter" as the criminal never actually gained entry into the store. "Break and enter" typically refers to entering a property unlawfully, whether through force or without permission, with the intent to commit a crime. In this scenario, the person was only attempting to commit a crime and was stopped before actually entering the store. Therefore, it would likely be considered attempted burglary or attempted breaking and entering, rather than an actual break and enter.
