Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....
Tough scenario, and good to explore. I agree with the thug that it's not worth getting in a gunfight over a car, unless I need the car for life safety purposes (like not getting stranded in the backcountry, etc). But... I'm not going to let multiple armed individuals who have murderous intent barricade me and my family in my very non-bulletproof house. How am I to know whether he will start spraying my house with bullets? I'd be tempted to let them know 911 had been called, officers are on the way, and they need to show their hands and back away slowly. Any show of arms after their threats seems like a green light?

I have been all of those things within the space of a-minute-and-a-half. Is that bad?I hesitate to post this, but I think you have a better sense of humor than Joe in PNG:

Depends on the area actually. When I reposed vehicles I could tell you the area. Same as I can tell you the lkey problem you will have to deal with thugs trying to possess a corvette like that if the keys were not in it.people target those things.
Careful…that’s the first step on the road to conversion, brother. Lex Or should I say “Fryer Lex…”
More seriously, I am not one to find anything acceptable in killing people to prevent a car theft. That stated up front, standing in the yard and yelling threats about killing the owner moves the clock just a little closer to midnight. Still room to go, but man, what a bunch of punks.
Seems from the video there was a second story to the house. Probably not the best choice but I would put a bunch of slugs into the engine block of my own car from an elevated position. Fuck you. You’re not taking my car.
My vehicle has 208k and probably not a target for theft. I’d be reluctant to own a car that is attractive or attention getting. Been looking at stick shift single cab F350’s in white.
I knew we were friends for a reason.

IMO:
1) If the number of vehicles you own is the same or less than the number of parking spaces in your garage, yet you still park outside, you need to get rid of whatever's taking up all that space in your garage so you can park inside.
2) If the number of vehicles you own is greater than the number of parking spaces in your garage, you should probably park your Corvette in the garage and park something less expensive outside.
3) If your Corvette is your least expensive car, you should probably get a bigger garage.

Yes, from a few days ago.
This has become a yearly spring ritual when a certain bear emerges from hibernation and remembers the sunflower seed my wife used to keep on the porch. No seed there this year, but I guess he decided to take a gander anyway. :-0
