Crime in home alone?

Question

In the movie home alone I remember Marv clogging sink drains in peoples house and lave the water running to flood the whole house. but at the end he got arrested for that but what crime did he get arrested for

Answer 1

uh probably breaking in trespassing criminal mischief he also impersonated a police man so something along those lines

Answer 2

Criminal damage?

By the way, can you really burn a house down by flooding it as one contributor has mentioned?

Answer 3

Burglary, Assault, and Criminal Damage to property.

And not Breaking and Entering....thats just an outdated term for burglary.

Answer 4

Breaking and Entering.  Remeber, it was only the signature "calling card" that busted him on all of those previous jobs.  They were the "Wet Bandits" if I remember right.

But also:

Destruction of property

Vanelism

Attempted Murder (what if someone were home asleep and the water flooding caused the house to burn down, killing the occupants).

You get the point.

Thanks!
