Evidence that you entered an inhabited dwelling with the intent, formed before the entering, of committing a felony inside (usually theft).

Re: Question on Burglary in California

Burglary is entering any specified structure with the intent to commit a larceny (theft) or a felony inside. First degree burglary is burglary of an inhabited (although not necessarily occupied at the time) residence.

They would have to prove it was an inhabited residence and that you had the intent to steal or commit a felony inside BEFORE you entered.
