Oh, I think there is a bit more to it than that. Theft, for example,
typically does not involve the thief directly engaging face to face with
the victim. If you are held up at gunpoint, you've been robbed. If
someone steals a pocketbook from a desk, the crime typically is not
robbery, is it?
The problem is, it is just a matter of time before a thief becomes a
robber. It only takes getting caught in the act.
Robber confronts victim intending to take from victim.
Thief tries to steal undetected.
Typically, precisely.
