Excellent post. The only thing I would add, based on one little detail--that Gates is renting the house--, is to suggest that if he had owned the home, he might have instead been thanking the police for investigating a suspected burglary in progess.

Esp, in light of the door having been damaged by a previous burglary or attempt to burglar. Is that fact that makes his reaction all the stranger.
