I was looking at crime statistics in Houston. They have two categories: auto-theft and burglary of a motor vehicle. So what's the difference?

Auto-theft is when they steal the car.
Burglary of a motor vehicle is when the break into the car and steal the contents, or components like the stereo.

Burglary, I believe, is entering without consent.. whether you take something out or not. If you take something out of a car it's burglary and theft. If you take the whole car, that would be auto theft.

Burglary is taking parts or contents, Theft is taking vehicle.

one is a break in, where they just steal valuables, i believe that's burglary. and auto theft is when the whole car is stolen.

housebreaking is composed of breaking and entering into (or only entering into) unlawful, including breaking right into a persons' homestead and stealing their television. robbery is taking something, including grabbing a handbag someone left unattended.
