. . . and one thing that muddies this principle is INSURANCE. You might not get that specific unit back, but if you have insurance, you can get it replaced. A cunning DA will plant this idea in the minds of a grand jury.

I think the OP did exactly right. Stop the burglary, maintain a safe distance, and evaluate the situation. If the BG charged, the threat is now against his person, and deadly force would be justified. Since the BG ran the other way, there's no sense in risking missing him, not having justification, or spending the money on a legal defense team.

Well done. Can you provide a link to auto security system you have?
Insurance seldom pays 100%,
Right. But deductibles are typically cheaper than lawyers.
