Yeah, realistically I agree that property isnt more valuable than life, even a criminal's life.
It has to be, or else you could never enforce law over property.
Eventually, the "or else what?" chain will come down to "or you die". If you remove that last step, the criminals can always push it to that point and win.

generally non-lethal force is enough to protect property
and if it isnt, it means the perp has started to use force back, which generally opens you up to use lethal force
I guess the main point is, dont shoot the guy running away in the street with your TV in the back
but if you find him in your house, u can shoot him
