Since this is the tactics forum and the legal tactics would be VERY different for a robbery vs. a theft I will point out that the crime was not a robbery, it was theft.
Robbery is a violent crime and always involves the robber confronting the victim. Robbery is often legal grounds for use of deadly force.
Theft is a nonviolent crime and involves the criminal taking something (without breaking into a building) without the victim's knowledge. Theft is almost never legal grounds for the use of deadly force.

Thank you John for posting that.
I immediately picked up on this but as I continued reading I saw that you addressed this error.
As for leaving your dwelling to confront, I know what I would do and I'll leave my house when it's on fire, and probably not until then. I really do have a "bunker mentality" when it comes to crimes committed on my property. Besides, insurance and the deductible is cheaper than a lawyer for a shooting. Even a "justified" one is costly.
The reason I mention shooting is because anytime you confront someone, and at least one of you has a gun, that's what it has the potential of turning into.
