Several miscreants were arrested the other day for, among other things “possession of burglarious tools” Burglarious? really?
2006 Code of Virginia § 18.2-94 – Possession of burglarious tools, etc
18.2-94. Possession of burglarious tools, etc.

The possession of such burglarious tools, implements or outfit by any person other than a licensed dealer, shall be prima facie evidence of an intent to commit burglary, robbery or larceny.
(Code 1950, 18.1-87; 1960, c. 358; 1970, c. 587; 1975, cc. 14, 15.)
Yes, Virginia, you can not possess burglarious tools… at least if you intend to use them.
Today was “National Walking Day”. According to the Fitbit – I logged 6.4 miles going about my normal life. I did not feel compelled to go on the hospital organized noon time walkabout. I napped instead. Wonder when National Napping Day is? Oops, I missed it. National Napping Day was March 16.
Hi Peg,the item Burgularious Tool intrigued me because a man had recently climbed the outside of a Federal Building,and used his elbow to break a glass window to enter. Guess his elbow would be called a Burglarious Tool in Virginia. In DC where the incident occurred it might be considered a creative level entry device.
