I get the heightened sense of violation...I have had my car and my apartment broke into. The thief has certainly have earned the right to be prosecuted...but to kill somebody for stealing a TV,? an iPhone?.

Alarms are a great way to go. Most burglars run when the dog barks or the alarm goes off. Unless you have drugs, jewelry, guns or a WHOLE lot of money in the house (see drugs above) most thieves are satisfied stealing your AMAZON packages.

I despise/hate thieves--but the punishment for Petit Theft is NOT the death penalty.

If they are drugged up they are capable of extreme violence, not just stealing. So what would you do, sit him down for an interview? Maybe offer him a cup of coffee to discuss his intentions?
Like they say, "when seconds count, the police are just minutes away".
