Good thread!

I would not and do not leave precious and valuable items in my vehicles that are parked outside. Anything and everything in my vehicles fall under the category of stuff that can be replaced. Yes my vehicle is considered an extension of my house but would you keep your jewelry box in the outside shed? We can argue all day about the value of Grandma's photos but why was it in the car? Precious and valuable items stay inside the house. Not in the cars. It would be burglary before someone gets to them inside the house. Breaking into my house makes it an easy answer. Breaking into my car that's in my driveway or on the street brings makes it questionable.

Could the homeowner have used the threat of deadly force to apprehend the badguys? Would you?
