Jordan plans to steal valuable artwork from a museum. He acquires tools, conducts surveillance of the museum's security systems, and creates a detailed blueprint of the museum layout. However, before executing the theft, Jordan is arrested by law enforcement. Which inchoate offense has Jordan most likely committed?
The correct answer is 'Attempted theft.' Jordan took substantial steps toward committing the theft with the specific intent to carry it out, satisfying the criteria for an attempt. A conspiracy requires an agreement between two or more persons, and solicitation involves encouraging others to commit a crime, neither of which are demonstrated in this scenario.
