Joanne is hosting a New Year's Eve party at home for 300 of her closest friends. The caterer employs Charles to work as a waiter at the party
Unknown to the caterer, Charles is Joanne's former live-in boyfriend whom Joanne threw out of the house a month earlier. At the time, Joanne told Charles, "Get out and stay out. I never want to see you again!" At the party, Charles dresses in a disguise so Joanne will not recognize him. While the party is going on, Charles decides to embarrass Joanne. Every time he observes an unattended purse, he takes the contents out and places the contents under Joanne's bed. The next day many of Joanne's friends telephone her, angry at the prank. After much searching, Joanne finds the friends' property and manages to get everyone and her respective property reunited. Charles has committed:
A) burglary since Joanne would not have allowed him to enter the house if he had not been wearing a disguise.
B) criminal trespass because he entered the home using deception to obtain consent to enter the premises.
C) theft since he took the property out of the purses without permission.
D) none of the above because the incident was intended as a joke.
