“"Sections 13-A-11-70 and -72 were not enacted as a part of Alabama's new Criminal Code. See 1977 Acts 812, No. 607 (January 1, 1980). Those sections were criminal laws in Alabama prior to the passage of the new Criminal Code, see Ala. Code 1975, § 13-6-150 and -152, and were transferred to the Criminal Code from Title 13, see Table II — Sections Transferred (to Title 13A) 1982 Replacement Vol. 12, Ala. Code 1975 at 3. " Burglary and theft are defined in the Alabama Criminal Code, § 13A-7-7 and § 13A-8-2 , respectively, and each offense embraces acts which would not have constituted its predecessor offense prior to the Criminal Code. See § 13-2-41 (burglary in the second degree), § 13-3-50 (grand larceny), and § 13-3-51 (petit larceny)."”
