Factual Scenario
Tom is a bank teller at Savings Bank, and as a bank teller, his sole responsibility is to handle the money in his cash drawer. Also, Tom is a bit of a gambler, and things have not been going his way for the last few months. As a result, he has incurred over $50,000 in gambling debts, and he doesn’t have the money to pay it back. In desperation, he hatches a plan to steal money from the bank to pay off the debts. While at work, he starts a fire in the break room and pulls the fire alarm. The fire quickly spreads and the staff immediately starts an evacuation of the customers. In the confusion, Tom goes down the line of cash drawers and empties the cash into a briefcase he is carrying, but his drawer is at the end, and he is not able to reach it or take any money out of it before the fire becomes too dangerous and he needs to escape as well. No one is ultimately hurt in the fire, but the bank building has been substantially damaged. Further, some employees saw Tom taking the money, and he was immediately arrested.
Questions:

1. Fully summarize the law related to the crimes of robbery, larceny, embezzlement, and arson (a discussion of these crimes can be found on pages 161 and 170 of the e-textbook).
2. Analyze the facts in the factual scenario and decide which, if any, of the crimes listed above have been committed by Tom. In your answer to this question, it is not enough to simply say whether they have been met or not. You must provide specific reasons based on the facts for your ruling.
