In California, robbery is defined as taking property that is of another person's possession, either from that person or their immediate presence, against said person's will and  by means of force or fear. There are certain robberies that are more serious than others as they carry harsher penalties. These robberies include ones inside someone's home, near an ATM machine, etc. and ones with a certain type of victim like cab drivers, bus drivers, etc.

The consequences of a robbery conviction are serious. If there was a weapon used, the consequences can be even more serious and can even result in a murder charge if someone was killed during the course of the robbery (felony murder).
