ABSTRACT
Article 362 of the Criminal Code explains that theft is an act of taking goods, which in whole or part belongs to another person, to possess the goods in violation of the law. One of the most common forms of theft in society is theft at night. Regarding the theft that is done on that night, there is its arrangement, namely in Article 363 of the Criminal Code on heavy theft, because at night is a time that is commonly used by everyone to rest, so that at that time the owner of the goods can not do protection or custody of his property. Economic factors are one of the main causes of the crime of theft, one of which is theft at night because economic factors play a very important role in a person's life. In the effort to prevent theft crimes, especially those committed at night can be done in several ways or efforts, namely preventive, repressive, and reformative.
