"If you shoot someone stealing from you that means you value your things over their life."
I paid for those things using money I earned with my labor, which means those "things" represent a portion of the time and energy I expended in that labor, which is to say they are material representations of a tiny slice of my life. As such, I have every right to protect those things, just as I have the right to defend my life. They made the decision to steal, any and all consequences of that decision are all on them.
I fucking hate thieves, when I find out someone stole from me I fly into a rage. I had stuff stolen from me many times during my Navy career, and I made a point of maintaining security of my stuff as much as I could.
Those people are retarded. 1) your deductible which is minimum $1000 these days, often $2500. 2) if you file a theft claim, your insurance premium WILL increase as a result. The surcharge sticks with you for at least three years. Maybe longer. Depends on the state.
Insurance isn't intended for small shit. It's intended for big things like your house burns down. 3) file too many claims you're basically uninsurable because no one will touch you or your insurance price will be astronomically high.
Whoever says that crap has clearly never owned a home.

the dust under my bed is worth more to me than any burglar's life.
This is the reality of a person who knows nothing of loss, responsibility, or inconvenience
You could have just stopped right there to be honest.

Hell if you file a claim your insurance might just drop you.
