I didn't consider the Webster definition because I have had the misfortune of being burgled and robbed so I'm versed in what the law describes it as and what the act itself is vs what a dictionaries current definition says.

In reality to describe burglary and looting and taking something without force or threat of force as robbery downplays the severity of a robbery.

The act of describing one as another is just another fuzzing of the English language and I distinctly remember my enc1102 professor ranting about dictionary definitions being utilized to misconstrue and to deceive.

I'm not saying that in this situation anyone is intentionally trying to deceive or inflate what happened, just that the use of the words to describe the specific action matter, independent of whatever the current dictionary definition is.
