I see people have a variety of approaches towards property... but in so many instances we end up with a variation on what comedian George Carlin used to say: "MY shit is STUFF, and other people's stuff is SHIT," basically suggesting there's often a dichotomy there. I remember when I lived in Texas many moons ago, well-educated adults agreeing that if they caught someone trying to steal their car stereo, they'd gladly shoot that person DEAD. Theft notwithstanding, the message was that a $200 car stereo held more "value" than the taking of a life.
