Wow. I hate to sound like a lib but lethal force is not called for when “protecting your property”. Only in self defense or justifiably perceived threat of personal harm!

Theft of property when the owner is present IS a justifiably perceived threat of personal harm.

Depends on the circumstances. If you hot-wire my car, and I run out the door to see it drive away, I'm not justified in giving chase and using deadly force. If you kick in my door, on the other hand, it's your a$$.
