From a Chicago man with good credentials.
...If you discover a theft in progress, do not exit the house to confront an offender. Instead, fire your home defense weapon out a barely opened window while crouched down low. A rifle would work best in terms of accuracy, but a shotgun loaded with slugs would be as good. Handguns are an iffy proposition in these types of events. In any cases, the spent brass would land in your house, leaving less to investigate.
If it's a catalytic converter thief, try for the lookout first....or the getaway driver. Those are the ones who might shoot back. The one with the sawzall can then be dispatched at your leisure. Note: a sawzall can be easily mistaken for a short barreled rifle.
Don't answer the door if police arrive. Make sure the lights are off and you close the window you were firing out of. Collect any brass or shotgun hulls that should have landed inside your house and hide them well. Dispose of them far from home after a few days....
...Be sure to file a police report for any damage to your vehicle and advise neighbors to do the same. Express amazement that crime could happen in your neighborhood and isn't it a shame that things have devolved this badly under one hundred years of democrats. You didn't hear anything or see anything and exercise that Right to remain completely silent.
Word will get around eventually that your block is a dangerous location for thefts. Someone shot will make it get around faster.
UPDATE: oh yeah, beware of ring doorbell cams. ...
Take that advice to the bank.
