In any way at all.

I don't necessarily mean they have to get my shite back every time - but do I have a right to government providing a deterrent (arrest and prison time) to reduce the likelihood my property rights will be violated by a private actor?

As a taxpayer you have the right to vote or demand that Government provide a form of law and order, by use of your tax dollars, to ensure the public safety.

The way it's supposed to work is the people are supposed to free to protect themselves and their property without needing Government....because police don't protect you from crimes they only punish those after the crime is committed.

Government is supposed to be controlled by the people because we vote for them to represent us and our collective interests, and to provide needed public services and run foreign affairs with the money we pay them via taxes.

People are not supposed to be controlled by Government. The Founding Fathers envisioned a country run by the people, not a people run by Government.
