The intruders didn't "break in" ... the RV side door was unlocked. They just stepped in.
I said in an earlier post that the perps "broke into his abode". Someone nit-picked me on that because the door was unlocked. So it raised my curiosity. Sometimes I make a mistake. Not this time. If you Google "definition breaking and entering" the first result that comes up is this:
dictionary.law.com: Breaking and Entering
It says breaking and entering is:
1) the criminal act of entering a residence or other enclosed property through the slightest amount of force (even pushing open a door), without authorization.
Another web page said that the "breaking" part does not mean breaking an object, but rather breaking the threshold, or, like in football, breaking the plane. They broke into his abode, unless he had called someone for a delivery of meth and they knocked on the door and he let them in. You never know. He might not want to tell the police if that's what happened.
