In this case, the perps not only weren’t in his house, they weren’t even on his property.

I'm not sure if that is true.

They were outside his gate, but I'd say there is a good chance they were still on his property. Not sure if "on property" or "outside gate" either one matter, in this case.

Well, Sherman Logan, it’s ok if someone comes in your house and steals something of value to you, but as long as he makes it to the street curb and beyond your “legal grasp” he is good to go then, right?

And he’s 1) Unknown to you, 2) You’re not able to easily later identify him, 3) You didn’t SEE him steal it but know he has it... all these things are ok with me too, if they rob your property.

I say let the perps get away with it then.....

Did you watch the video at the link? From what I saw, it looks like the perp WAS on Mr. Reid's property.

Another point is that the perp was pinned to the post by his car, not Reid's. That is, Reid didn't directly run him over.
