Didn't read this entire thread, so maybe it's already been said but...

It's a personal decision. Is the property being stolen worth the risk of confrontation? If it's insured, I'd say not. If it's not, can you afford to replace it, and do you NEED it? If it's farm equipment, I'm pretty sure every struggling farmer would say it's worth protecting.

But anything worth protecting is worth doing so prior to the incident as well. Get motion sensors, floodlights, and an alarm. Get cameras and have a monitor in the house. If you have enough valuables outside, put a joystick on the camera so you can pan and zoom. If the guy came in a vehicle, zoom in on the license plate and let him take what he wants.

If you have anything that's worth bringing a gun out for, you should put some theft preventative measures into effect.

Not lecturing you by the way, very sorry for your loss and glad that your family is okay. Just answering this request:
