It's just a darned car...not worth anyone's life.
I Disagree. I worked hard for my car and some low life scumbag will pay dearly if I catch them in the act of stealing my vehicle

If you believe that your automobile is more valuable than a human life, then I suggest that you need to reexamine your priorities.
Deadly force is appropriate to stop a violent felony or to defend yourself or another person when a life is actively and immediately threatened. That's my opinion, and it's the law in most jurisdictions.
A car is just a car, no matter how much you may care about it. Yes the thief is a scumbag, but we don't execute car thieves in this country.
Someone steals my car, I call the cops. Someone breaks into my house, they're dead. Someone threatens me or mine, or anyone with deadly force, and I'll act immediately. A car? My insurance will cover the loss.

Semper Fi Gunny. Someone tries to steal my modified 500hp 03 Cobra I will blast them out of their Nike's and not lose a minute of sleep over it.
