What happens when it turns out you shot a 12-year old kid out for a joy-ride?
Not that he didn't have it coming, of course, and legally it would be irrelevent, but politically, depending on what race you are and where you live, it could make you a candidate for persecution (and prosecution) by some DA who's running for Mayor next election.
Plus the civil lawsuit his dirtbag parents will hit you with...
I'm not an attorney, but I think you've got the letter of the law covered, but depending on some variables, you may be on thin ice. Stealing a car is a felony. Self-defense outside the home generally requires you to retreat, if possible. However, you are allowed to use lethal force to protect a life.
Make sure you get hit by the car.
Seriously, avoid showing a gun unless you actually use it, and avoid using a gun literally until "gravest extreme".
Get LoJack.
