    Firing at a thief sounds weird. You have a party, a bunch of people with you. You can scare them off.

      “A burglar! Hold on, let me get my gun.” “Bill, we can all just yell ‘get the fuck out’ at the same time, they’ll probably shit their pants and run.”

        Have you ever stolen something? I doubt so (:

        A bunch of dudes do make you very uncomfy. Not only they see and remember you, they can run and block you from leaving the scene. They can beat you up. They can hold you before cops would show.

        Rule one of stealing is leaving as soon as you are noticed, stakes become too high. Even the dumbest of street theives won’t fuck around if you scream aloud about their attempt and have some people to back you up.
