Burglary vs. Larceny: What Is the Difference?
Burglary is about unlawful entry into a building. Larceny is about taking property that does not belong to you.
The key difference comes down to one question: was the issue where the person went, or what the person took?
- Burglary focuses on entering a home, business, or other structure without permission, usually with the intent to commit a crime inside.
- Larceny focuses on the act of taking another person’s property, whether it happens in a store, a workplace, or any other location.
The two charges can overlap. For example, if someone breaks into a home and takes items inside, they may face both burglary and larceny charges in the same case.
This difference matters at the bail stage because each charge carries its own penalty range and affects how the magistrate sets the bond.
Types of Burglary and Larceny Charges in Virginia
Virginia recognizes several charge types under both burglary and larceny. Each has its own bail outlook.
Common Burglary and Breaking and Entering Charges
- Statutory burglary: Covers entering a home, business, or other building unlawfully with intent to commit a crime inside. The charge applies even if no theft occurs. Most cases are felonies, with the class depending on the time of day, weapon use, and structure type.
- Breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony: Filed when someone forces or breaks their way into a building intending to commit a felony like robbery or assault. The use of force, even minor, can be enough to support this charge.
- Breaking and entering with intent to commit larceny: Common when a person enters unlawfully but is caught before taking anything. The intent to steal, not the actual theft, is what triggers this charge.
- Possession of burglary tools: Applies when someone has items such as lock picks, pry bars, or master keys with the intent to use them in a break-in. Possession alone, paired with intent, is enough for a felony charge.
Common Larceny and Theft Charges
- Petit larceny: Theft of property valued under $1,000. Usually charged as a Class 1 misdemeanor and often results in a lower bond.
- Grand larceny: Theft of property valued at $1,000 or more, or theft of a firearm of any value. Charged as a felony with stricter bail terms.
- Shoplifting or concealment: Covers taking items from a store, hiding goods, or changing price tags. Charged as petit or grand larceny based on the total value of the items.
- Larceny from a person: Filed when property is taken directly from someone, such as picking a pocket or grabbing a bag. Treated as a felony in Virginia, regardless of the item’s value.
- Receiving stolen property: Applies to anyone who knowingly buys, keeps, or sells stolen goods. Charged based on the value of the items received.
What Happens After a Burglary or Larceny Arrest in Danville?
After a burglary or larceny arrest in Danville, the defendant is taken to the Danville City Jail for booking. The booking process includes fingerprints, photos, and basic background checks.
Once the booking is completed, the case is transferred to a magistrate under Virginia Code § 19.2-119–120. The magistrate reviews the charge and decides whether bail is allowed and at what amount. For most misdemeanor property charges, bail is set within a few hours.
Felony burglary or grand larceny cases can take longer. Night arrests, weekends, and holidays can also delay the review. Once bail is set, a licensed bondsman can post the bond.
How Bail Is Set for Property Crime Cases
Bail for property crimes in Danville is decided by the magistrate after reviewing the facts of the arrest. Each case is judged on its own, so there is no flat bail amount for burglary or larceny.
The magistrate considers several factors, including:
- The value of the property allegedly involved
- Whether the offense was a misdemeanor or a felony
- Whether force, a weapon, or a break-in was involved
- The defendant’s prior record
- Risk of flight or skipping court
- Ties to Danville or the wider Pittsylvania County area
- Any past missed court dates or bond violations
Larger property values and felony-level charges almost always lead to higher bonds and stricter release rules.
Release Conditions for Burglary and Larceny Cases
Every release on a property crime bond comes with court-ordered conditions. These rules stay in place until the case is fully resolved.
Common conditions include:
- A no-contact order with the alleged victim or business
- Stay-away orders from the location of the alleged crime
- No contact with co-defendants
- Travel restrictions, often limited to Virginia
- Mandatory court appearances on every date
- Possible restitution-related terms if ordered by the judge
- Drug or alcohol testing in cases involving substance use
Violating any condition can result in re-arrest, bond revocation, and new criminal charges.
How Apex Handles Your Burglary or Larceny Bail Bond
From the first phone call to the moment of release, Apex manages each part of the bond process for you. Our agents are reachable around the clock.
- Step 1: Reach out with the details. Text or call (434) 548-2739 with the defendant’s name, date of birth, and the facility where they were booked.
- Step 2: Bond verification. We contact the Danville City Jail directly to confirm the charges, bail amount, and any conditions already attached to the case.
- Step 3: Cost breakdown and approval. We go over the premium, financing options, co-signer setup, and whether any collateral is needed for the bond size.
- Step 4: Paperwork on your terms. Stop by the office to sign or finish everything online with a secure e-signature, phone confirmation, or email exchange.
- Step 5: Bond posting and release. As soon as bail is set and your paperwork is approved, we head to the jail, post the bond, and follow up with staff until your loved one walks out.
Do I Need a Co-Signer for a Burglary or Larceny Bond?
A co-signer is typically required when the bond goes through Apex, especially for felony-level burglary or grand larceny charges.
The co-signer, sometimes called the indemnitor, is the person who backs the bond financially. They guarantee that the defendant will appear in court and that the payment plan remains on schedule. Without that backing, larger bonds are tough to approve.
The co-signer can be:
- A parent, sibling, spouse, or adult child of the defendant
- A long-time friend with stable employment and local roots
- Someone with property ownership or a steady checking account
- A person willing to stay actively involved in the case
The co-signer keeps in touch with our office, makes sure the defendant attends court, manages the payment balance, and stays alert to any change in the case. If the defendant skips court, the co-signer becomes liable for the full bail amount.
Is Collateral Required for Burglary and Larceny Cases?
Minor larceny and burglary bonds do not require collateral. However, it may be necessary to provide one if:
- The bond amount is above what the co-signer can reasonably cover
- The defendant has a history of skipped court dates
- The case crosses state lines or involves multiple jurisdictions
- The defendant has weak ties to Danville or the Pittsylvania County area
Accepted forms of collateral are real estate equity, vehicle titles, investment accounts, jewelry, and other approved assets with clear ownership.
We walk you through the paperwork, explain how the asset is held during the case, and answer any questions before anything is signed. Once the case closes and the premium balance is paid, your collateral is released in full.
Burglary & Larceny Bail Bond Costs and Payment Plans
Under Virginia Code § 9.1-185.8, a bondsman can charge up to 15% of the total bail amount. Apex sticks to 10%, which keeps your cost low without cutting corners on service.
Our payment plans are built to make the cost easier to manage:
- 10% premium, the most competitive rate in VA
- 0% interest on every approved plan
- Half Down, Half Later on most standard bonds

After Release: What the Defendant Must Do
After release, the bond stays active until the case is resolved. Following all the rules of the bond keeps the case on track.
Standard duties of the defendant include:
- Attending every scheduled court date
- Following every release condition set by the court
- Avoiding the alleged victim or business
- Staying in regular contact with the bondsman
- Making each payment on time
What if You Miss a Court Date?
Missing court triggers a Failure to Appear. The court can forfeit the bond, hold the co-signer liable for the full bail amount, and issue a warrant for re-arrest. If a warrant is already active, our failure to appear bail bonds team is available 24/7 to help resolve the situation quickly.
