Thiefs suck DIKK.
If you do have to shoot, fire a round into your lawn. Dont shoot the guy its not worth getting your possessions sued away from you and having to spend a few years in jail over a car.
To the OP: I'd move. I see you live in Uranus, which is a scary place to live. Dark, desolate, smells, lacks proper hygiene and ventilation...

Civil suits are a different matter entirely.
Civil suits are a different matter entirely.
I'll cite the time when I confronted the jack-wad that stole my tools from a parking lot when I stepped inside a parts store for a second. Ignoring my stupidity regarding that, when I found the thief later and STOLE my own property back from the thief's car, I was later told by the police that charges could have been filed against ME for breaking into his property; never mind the fact that I had thought about beating the s**t out of this clown. The police told me that even though I was trying to save my own property I could have gone down for assault, battery and breaking and entering the thief's car, all because I was acting on behalf of myself and my property. I'd hate to think what could happen to someone if they shot someone in self defense-if there's even such a thing anymore.
We live in a time where the rights of criminals (who deserve NO rights at all) are more important than the rights of victims...

If you are not retired military, in law enforcement, etc., when you purchase a handgun in CA you have to take a test based on this document: http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/forms/pdf/hscsg.pdf to obtain a handgun safety certificate. It contains info on when lethal force is justified.
Planting a gun/knife after killing someone is not justifying the use of lethal force, it is tampering with evidence to conceal a crime. If you want to use a firearm to defend your property, buy a pump action shotgun. The sound alone of chambering a round is intimidating enough to diffuse the situation versus an unarmed thief.
Educate yourself and you will not have to worry about illegals or criminals or whoever having more rights than you.
I know the story of "the thief falling on the knife and suing the homeowner" was told in a court drama movie, but I do not believe it is accurate.
C'mon now you know better, especially with all the Turbo Buicks that have went missing in the past few months.
