Does it make a difference that he’s *leaving* things and not taking them away?

Not really, breaking and entering is a separate crime from theft.

@Greywolf
He might be able to beat the charge, actually. B&E has three defining elements:
1. The breaking (or forced entry; walking in through an already open doorway weakens this argument a bit)
2. The Entering (If you don’t physically go inside, then breaking a door down is just vandalism.)
3. Criminal intent (If you smash in the window of a burning building and crawl inside to rescue a baby, you haven’t committed a crime.)Santa might be able to get the charges dropped if he can prove the 3rd point.

I suspect a court would find that coming in through a non-standard method might satisfy both the breaking and entering. And since the entire household is asleep, he is going to be hard pressed to show his entrance was to aid someone in distress.
Hahaha, love it!
