Because like everything else in law, the lower charge becomes irrelevant in light of a worse offense. Breaking into someones home is burglary, but do it when someone is home and it becomes home invasion. Do it with a weapon and it becomes an aggravated charge.
At that point, nobody cares if you were trying to steal the silverware.

what law? In my country in my scenario the person would be charged for scam (fraud), robbery and any other possible crimes.
