Wow, talk about two extremes! I'm having trouble with only these two options...

1 - The use of deadly force to protect a few replaceable items seems drastic. However having the perpetrator know my address from my licence - not liking it.

2 - Letting them take the items, this would probably be the option I'd yeild to but I would struggle with the after effects, peering over my shoulder, changing all my locks, struggle with my sense of security and look at how much power I really have in my own life, those sorts of things...

It's been a tough thought given the amount of possibilities I would prefer to consider. Can I ask why the two extremes? I mean if it were my life or theirs then 1 would be totally different. Why did you choose this example?
