For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove three things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant [opened] [entered] [attempted to open]
[attempted to enter] a [safe] [vault] of another.
Second, that the defendant did so unlawfully, that is, knowingly and
without the consent of any person authorized to give consent.
And Third, that the defendant did so by the use of [explosives]
[drills] [(describe other tools)].
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant [opened] [entered] [attempted to
open] [attempted to enter] the [safe] [vault] of another person and that
the defendant did so knowingly and without the consent of any person

verdict of not guilty.
