Theft is taking something that doesn’t belong to you.
Robbery is theft by force.
Burglary is theft by breaking and entering.
Theft usually applies to things such as cars, robbery refers to people being there while things are being stolen, and burglary would be something like an office building after hours. Now those are what I see, that might not be the case in actual definitions.
Well Wikipedia says that Theft is stealing and Robbery is seizing property through violence or intimidation, and Burglary is Breaking and Entering

Burglary is breaking in to somewhere, robbery is taking from a person, theft is just stealing something from a store
