Five years and/or five thousand dollars. It doesn't matter that it was unlocked. You need to hire an attorney today. You committed a crime in a VERY conservative county, and the citizens there are very tough juries.

I agree with my colleagues, burglary of a conveyance is a third degree felony, punishable by a maximum of 5 years in prison, or $5,000. The actual plea offer will depend upon a number of factors, such as your prior record, facts and circumstances of the case and a number of other factors. The fact that the conveyance was unlocked does not help the defendant, as an unlocked door is NOT an invitation to burglary.
