Is a defendant guilty of a burglary each time he or she enters a house with the intent to commit the crime?

I would note, pertinent to this issue, that one commits a burglary each time he or she enters a dwelling with the requisite intent. Thus, if a defendant enters a house with the intent to commit a theft and repeatedly leaves and reenters carrying items to his car, he is guilty of a burglary for each entry. (People v. Washington (1996) 50 Cal.App.4th 568, 577-579.) While this may be another odd aspect of the crime of burglary, it certainly makes less troubling the idea that one is guilty of a burglary for each interior room entered.³
