I think there's a castle doctrine law here that would allow you to use deadly force if someone breaks INTO your house. But if you see them stealing from your shed - or your neighbors house (and you know your neighbors aren't home so there's no threat to life) - or from your house while you're outside the house - you can't use it.


Yep. Basically you can't kill to protect stuff, but a home invasion is considered a deadly threat.
