As others mentioned, I think it is dependent on the situation. For myself, I hardly ever leave anything in my car, so if I saw the door open and someone rifling through my things the first thing I'm doing isn't pulling my weapon but i will have my hand on it ready to draw. Now, if something valuable is in the car and they broke the window and its in hand, depends on the item. In the tools situation, I'd be pulling my gun. For me, the tool is a laptop and mine can not be replaced quickly (most likely weeks, if not months) and there is serious liability in someone else having my laptop. So weapon would be pulled and if the bag is not put down they will be shot. Something like a radar detector though? Nah, not worth the trouble to me, but if it is to you, it's your right to use force. Afterwards, In Texas anyways, you are very unlikely to be arrested and if the cops determine its a justifiable shooting then you are also protected civilly. We aren't in New York, or I'm not anyways and never will be.
