           Possession of Burglarious Tools in Virginia is a Class 5 Felony.  Burglarious Tools are essentially any tool that could be used to accomplish a theft or burglary.  In almost all instances, the tool itself has a perfectly reasonable innocent usage, that has nothing to do with theft. But, in order to prove their case, prosecutors will have to use direct and circumstantial evidence that the tool in question was in fact being used to perpetrate a theft.  For example, scissors to cut off tags have been charged as burglarious tools.  So have bags, aluminum foil and wire cutters.  Whether a prosecutor can prove that an item is a burglarious tool is going to be very fact specific and dependent on the circumstances of the case at hand.
