    Incorrect. Using deadly force to prevent someone from stealing your tv or vehicle is not permissible, Unless you are watching tv in your truck and someone decides to carjack you. Using deadly force to prevent theft of property will get you arrested and potentially charged with murder if not the lesser plea bargain of manslaughter.

    I suggest you re-read sections CRS: 18-1-706 which also references sec 18-1-704 regarding deadly physical force.
