What offence is being committed when an individual is caught breaking a car window in a shopping mall parking lot?

  1. Theft

  2. Vandalism

  3. Mischief

  4. Trespassing

The correct answer is: Mischief

Breaking a car window in a shopping mall parking lot would be considered an act of mischief. This is because the individual is willfully and deliberately damaging someone else's property. This act would not be classified as theft as there is no intent to steal anything from the car, nor would it be considered trespassing as the individual is not entering or remaining on the property without permission. Vandalism is also an incorrect answer as it typically involves the defacement or destruction of property, not just breaking a window. Therefore, of all the options, mischief is the most fitting offence for this scenario.
