.
Felon = someone who has committed (or been legally convicted of) a crime

Burglar = a thief who enters a building with intent to steal

Robber = a thief who steals from someone by threatening violence

Trespasser = someone who intrudes on the privacy or property of another without permission.

Would i be wrong from the definitions above to say that all burglars are trespassers and that all burglars are felons once convicted.

That sounds reasonable to me. Micious. I wonder, though, if a burglar could be the property owner stealing some of his own company's goods?
