According to State v. Gonzales, burglary can apply when an object is attached to what?

• A. A Fence
• B. A Building
• C. A Truck Bed
• D. A Door

Answer: (B)

Burglary centers on entering a building or structure with the intent to commit a crime inside. State v. Gonzales clarifies that the structure can include items that are attached to the building, meaning those attached parts are treated as part of the building for purposes of the offense. When an object is fixed to a building, it is considered part of the building itself, so the burglary charge can apply based on that structure. A fence isn’t a building, a truck bed is part of a vehicle, and while a door is part of a building, the principle here emphasizes that the attached item relates to the building as the target. So the correct understanding is that the object is attached to a building.
