The question I see as the guiding point is if they are stealing my $500 TV set I will try to stop them. I will yell, threaten, call the sheriff and do all I can to stop them. Question is are they willing to do me harm to prevent me from stopping them? If they are willing to use deadly force against me to take it, then I am willing to protect myself from them. At what point do you say "well then just take it!" Do you just stand there and wave at them? Do you throw rocks at them? At what point do you stand up for what is yours? I won't just shoot them as they take it. But I will try to stop them. It is up to them to do as I wish or stop me. At that point I have to assume they are willing to use deadly force to stop me. You have to know where the line is.
