      2. Typical example: Non-Resident commits a Tort
        Person A produced widgets, widget directly sold to someone in state B and it blows up in state B - did you commit a Tort in state B - some say yes (injury was there) some say no (act wasn't there)

1. I. Constitutional Requirement
  1. 1. Property is attached at onset of suit
  2. II State Statute
    1. Attachment Statute
