From Merriam-Webster:

Theft: an unlawful taking of property

Robbery: taking of property from a person by violence or threat

Burglary: the entering of a property with the intent to commit a crime

See the difference? A robber takes your wallet from you; a burglar breaks into your home; and they are both thieves if they successfully take something.
