onthejon55, according to your profile, you're only 18 years old. I have more than 3 times the life experience. But even at 18, you should by now understand the difference between your life or the life of some other innocent you might be in a position to protect and a mere object. You should also be beginning to learn that you have responsibilities to your community and to other people.
And property rights are founded on the law. They are not founded upon the use of violence. And yes, it is both better and legally required to let a thief escape with property, as long as you or another innocent is not in mortal danger, than to commit a crime and forfeit your freedom and future to retain a mere object by use of lethal force.
