In a court of Law definitions matter. People can have cases thrown out if they are charged with Larceny instead of Burglary. To any sane person, they are both theft. So I can understand the argument that in a court of law the label would be different, only because our legal system here is a mess (speaking as an American, dunno much about rest of world).
That aside, as already shown, its still theft. Just as Larceny and Burglary are both names for "person a took something from person b."
