I notice you didn't address any of the substance of my reply.

1: There was no substance to your reply.
2: You took what i wrote and assigned YOUR beliefs to it, then claimed it was MY beliefs.. Disingenuous at best.
3: If you wish to have a legitimate conversation without name calling and negative personal innuendo.. I'm game Otherwise, I see no reason to feed the trolls.

Yes really, no not that expensive. And yes I like my USAA coverage.
Oh and I don’t buy cheap radar detectors so it's more like $400 https://store.valentine1.com/store/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
As well as the scenario was more than a $150 item taken with no other covered event.. It was hundreds if not thousands of $$ damage to the car itself caused during the break in, which would be covered as well.

Well now, how about if those material things are either a) your livelihood, like the tools with which you make your living and feed your family, or b) rare and extremely difficult to replace like your left-handed Gibson Flying V?

Insurance.

Insurance. Why not just chuck the guy the keys to your house, too?

Because we are not discussing a house burglary.. it was a discussion on a car being broken into, an unoccupied car.. a car with relatively cheap items that can easily be replaced.. But even if you throw in the red herring of a "left-handed Gibson Flying V".. It's still just a non essential item and coved by my insurance.. Replaceable in money at least, with no more than a phone call.

The part of that statute that gets me every time is "(A) the land or property cannot be protected or recovered by any
other means; or"

As everything I own is covered by one insurance policy or another. All of my property is both "protected" and "recoverable" though my replacement value policies.

And that is in addition to the practicality issue brought up.. the legal issues, cost and stress of defending ones actions for shooting some lowlife stealing a car stereo, tools from my garage or a bike from my trailer.
Willing and capable are two different things.. I am capable, Im not willing
