So you walk up to the mall at 11:00 am on a Sunday, try the door, it's 
not locked!  You walk in, pick up something and walk out.  Have you 
broken the law?  Yes.

So you walk up to the mall at 11:00 am on a Sunday, try the door, it's 
not locked!  You walk in,  walk around a bit, and a officer of the law 
spots you through the glass.  Have you broken the law?  Will you be 
prosecuted??

I don't really know, although you could likely be trespassing.  The 
average person knows the hours of the mall and isn't open, but I suspect 
some are open at 11:00 am on Sunday.  What if it was 1:00 am?  I suspect 
you'd be hauled off and booked.
