(Indiana) Well, if you change your problem to
stealing your wallet:
IC 35-41-3-2
Use of force to protect person or property
Sec. 2. (a) A person is justified in using reasonable force against
another person to protect the person or a third person from what the
person reasonably believes to be the imminent use of unlawful force.
However, a person is justified in using deadly force only if the
person reasonably believes that that force is necessary to prevent
serious bodily injury to the person or a third person or the
commission of a forcible felony. No person in this state shall be
placed in legal jeopardy of any kind whatsoever for protecting the
person or a third person by reasonable means necessary.
(b) A person is justified in using reasonable force, including
deadly force, against another person if the person reasonably believes
that the force is necessary to prevent or terminate the other person's
unlawful entry of or attack on the person's dwelling or curtilage.
(c) With respect to property other than a dwelling or curtilage, a
person is justified in using reasonable force against another person
if the person reasonably believes that the force is necessary to
immediately prevent or terminate the other person's trespass on or
criminal interference with property lawfully in the person's
possession, lawfully in possession of a member of the person's
immediate family, or belonging to a person whose property the
person has authority to protect. However, a person is not justified in
using deadly force unless that force is justified under subsection (a).
