Under State v. Muggnin, truck beds are not counted for burglary unless what condition is met?

• A. A lock
• B. A toolbox
• C. A cover or camper shell
• D. A gate

Answer: (C)

Burglary requires entering an enclosed structure. State v. Muggnin holds that a truck bed isn’t counted as a structure unless it is enclosed, such as by a cover or camper shell. When the bed is covered, the space becomes an enclosed area, so entering it with the intent to commit a crime satisfies the structure element of burglary. Without a cover, the open bed isn’t an enclosed structure, so it doesn’t meet that requirement. Therefore, the condition that makes a truck bed count for burglary is the presence of a cover or camper shell.
