I guess I'm repeating myself, but I'm with tprT. I have $1000 deductible insurance on my car. I know a fellow in a neighboring state that got involved in a very minor use of force (he sprayed someone with OC who desperately needed to be sprayed). It cost him $20,000 in legal fees over the course of several years. If someone is breaking into my car (brand spanking new, I might add), no way am I going outside to try to stop them. It just isn't worth it. It isn't worth the physical risk. It isn't worth the financial risk.

I can replace the car. I can't replace my life.

YMMV.
