Summary/Abstract: The term “burglary” represents a certain concept specific for legal language and legal terminology, the sense of which may differ from the understanding of “burglary” in the common language. Two theories concerning the nature of theft protection and burglary protection can be distinguished. The first one (subjective) requires only the expressed will to protect a particular thing from theft. However, according to the second concept (subject/object), a real means of protection from theft (causing relative difficulties in overcoming them) should also exist. The rejection of the theory of the use of substantial physical force as a prerequisite for burglary, which should be considered archaic, does not necessarily imply opting for the subjective approach. Therefore, it is possible to qualify an act of opening a lock with a forged or original (unlawfully acquired) key as theft, and not to qualify as such an act of overcoming merely symbolic safeguards (such as a seal or slider in a tent).
