The comment you are replying to has no idea what they are talking about.
Burglary is defined in the Theft Act 1968:

The door can be wide open. The important parts are you are trespassing with the intent to commit a crime.
Literally invented the term ”cat burglar” lol! Commenter above is British too so it’s hilarious he thinks burglary isn’t a thing.
I am English. It took me all of like 30 seconds to look up the relevant law using Google. Most of Anglosphere has a definition of Burglary that is essentially the same and I suspect it is the same in Europe.
Yeah I was referring to higher up the stack. You’re spot on for citing the U.K. law.
