To: Thief that broke into my boat & tried to steal it last night

Physical force would be allowed for someone stealing from a boat but defensive force, shooting someone, would not be allowed unless the boat was in a dwelling where people could sleep.


For now one, one night a week, I will sleep on my boat in the driveway. Not sure how the definition works, but to me, that would make an attack on my boat a home invasion.

I think if the law was fair, and we caught a thief, his punishment ought be to assume our boat payments.
