Only in Texas is it legal to shoot somebody in the back when they are running off with your walkman.

Is that tongue-in-cheek, or are you serious?

The use of deadly force to protect the loss of your property is legal in Texas *AFTER* dusk. Dusk isn't defined as an exact time, however, but DAs tend to be flexible when considering whether to file charges or not, as long as there are no questions about the circumstances surrounding the event. -- Eric Dittman dittman(a)dittman.net
