Perhaps. But even in daylight, if one tried to stop a theft, it would be
difficult to not incur the threat of bodily injury.
I'm at home, on my ranch, on a Saturday afternoon. I look out my window,
and two guys are stealing tools/cattle/tractor/truck/Jeep. I want to
keep this stuff. I am going to grab a gun and a cell phone (most likely
my short shotgun & my carry pistol) and I'm going outside to stop them.
I call the sheriff first on the cell and leave the line open.
I appear and ask them to cease and disist.
If they hit the deck and scream "don't shoot". Correct response.
If they run, empty handed. Correct response.
If they run, with goods, I persue, armed.
If they approach me. Wrong response.
If they continue loading cattle. Wrong response if they enter the
vehicle.
If they start the tractor's engine. Wrong response.
The very act of stopping them incurs the risk of bodily injury.
The nighttime scenario simply makes is harder to judge what they might
or might not be doing, enabling leeway in the response.
