BTW, Gates has said that he's happy someone called the police when they thought there might have been a break-in taking place.

No, I make the assumption that the cops showed up and told Gates about the suspected break-in and asked for ID. According to the police report, Gates decided to act like a prick and refuse to show the ID. And when he DID show the ID, after acting like a prick which happens to be perfectly reasonable grounds for being charged with disorderly conduct, he gave him his Harvard ID, which probably doesn't even give the address of his home.

Your Harvard ID is the key to countless campus experiences and transactions—including building access, book borrowing, Crimson Cash, and riding the M2 shuttle.

Sorry for the bolded text.

I don't know for sure, but it does look like the card wouldn't have had the home address on it. Everything would be stored on the computer, similar to a credit card.
Again, not exactly the ID that would prove that the house belonged to Gates.
