'steal' vs 'rob'
- Stealing is to take something that doesn't belong to you. To rob is to take something from a person/place by force.
Someone can steal your belongings when you're not home. However, if a person approaches you on the street and forces you to give them your watch, you have been robbed.
- I'd say that rob goes with buildings of public places, where money or any kinds of valuable property is kept.
- A bank robber goes to a bank and uses a gun to steal money from the tellers. The threat of force is used to take valuables while people are present.
This is the normal way to rob a bank.
So it is robbery since the valuables are taken from people while they are present. The people are bank employees, they represent the bank.
(It is possible that burglars would break into a bank secretly and take the money. They would technically be burglars, but since "bank robbing" is the normal method, they would likely still be called bank robbers.)
- To steal is to take without permission. Robbing involves taking with violence or the threat of it from the person directly. Burglary is to break into a house or such to steal items.
What's the difference between the verbs "rob" and "mug"?
- robbery is taking somethig using fear and force.
mugging is a robbery taking place outside - on the street, parkings and so on.
- 'mug' means attack somebody in order to rob them, especially in a public place.
- 1. Rob at gunpoint or with the threat of violence
"I was mugged in the streets of New York last night"
While Rob
1.Take something away by force or without the consent of the owner
"The burglars robbed him of all his money"
- to rob is to go into a store and steal something valuable
to mug is to steal from people on the street
- In a robbery, the "victim" can be a person or a place. "The school was robbed of all its computers." In a mugging, the event usually takes place outdoors or in a public place. "He was mugged on his way home from the supermarket. They took his groceries and all his money." A mugging usually includes a robbery, but a robbery is not always a mugging.
- There does not have to be violence for it to be a mugging--just the threat of violence. If someone pulls a gun or knife on me and demands my purse, he never has to touch me but I have still been mugged.
