If you see the neighbor kid going down the street on your bicycle, you're probably not justified in shooting.
I'd go to his parents and tell them, "Your brat stole my bike," or words to that effect.

But if a stranger is running away with my wallet, I probably would shoot.
I may have little or no money.
But I may have other things that would be difficult to impossible to replace. I've got phone numbers in there that I would never find if I lost that wallet. Some people have irreplaceable baby pictures and such.
Then there's the strong possibility of identity theft, which may cost you more than all the contents of your wallet.
And the things which can be replaced with some difficulty like driver's license, credit cards, et cetera . . . I would have to replace them. The thug would not be the one standing in line and paying fees to replace stuff.
His life is not worth that.
His life is not worth the ammunition used on him actually, and I think he or his family should have to reimburse me for any rounds fired at him while protecting my property.
And while some jurists might vote guilty, I think it'd be difficult, in many parts of Texas, to find twelve people on a jury who would all agree on a guilty verdict. I'd lean hard on the idea of there being things in my wallet that I'd never see again if I allowed this person out of my sights.
