What's the difference between looting and theft?


I think in order for it to be consider looting it has to be in the middle of some sort of riot or war.

If there wasn't any rioting happening that would cause those stores to be insecure or closed, etc... I don't think it would be classified as looting.

At least I think that's the way it works. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
