Was it worth the risk getting killed to steal the car?

That's your right to let people take your possessions, I won't argue with that. Please respect my right to defend my property against criminals. I guess the car owner could have shouted "hey! bring my car back" but would that have worked? Why should the criminal make the rules?

Next time some idiot may shoot a kid of your neighbor who had some growing up issues.

Yeah? If you play with fire....
