If you let him go, he will likely come back some time later looking for revenge and maybe do a drive-by on your wife or kids. I do not know what I would do in this situation. I would like to think that I would not shoot someone for stealing my property, but if they were armed with a sawed-off shotgun and an AK, they likely meant to do you and your family serious harm if need be. I do know that I would not want a security system with a video recorded. That thing works in both directions and could get you into a lot of trouble. I really think that I would like to see his momma on the local news telling everybody what a misunderstood child her little boy was and that deep down she knows that he did not intend to cause anyone any harm. Take him and his buddy out of the gene pool. They will be just two less people that you will have to share your social security and medicare with on top of the worldly goods that they stole from you.
