'To mug' is reasonably easy. It is
when someone pickpockets you outside. We are talking about stealing phones,
wallets, iPods and the like: small items that you carry on your person. A
mugger does this.
'To burgle' is easy too. It's when things from your house are
stolen by a thief. A burglar carries this out.
Concerning 'to rob'.You rob
buildings, companies or organisations or people. It is transitive. For example,
'she robbed the bank', 'they robbed the family', 'I was robbed' or 'they robbed
el Corte Inglés'. Here, the object is the person or thing that suffers, not
what the thrift takes. The noun is 'a robbery'.
With 'to steal' this is equally
transitive but here the object is what is stolen: money, data, a wallet, a
phone etc. With 'to steal' when you indicate the innocent party or where the
item was taken from, you need the preposition 'from'. For instance, 'she stole
the cash from the till', 'I have stolen money from the bank twice' or 'the
thief stole the handbag from the frail woman'. We don't usually use a noun with
'to steal'.
