Worth it or not, it's legal in some states and in some circumstances. I'm not sure about TN, where this occurred.

That car was purchased with money, which presumably was obtained through labor. Your labor, once expended, cannot be reclaimed. The moral argument can be made that theft of property is equivalent to theft of a portion of one's life.

That's bullshit but even by that logic, killing the thief would not be a proportional response. Plus most cars are insured to cover theft and since it was in the driveway, it possibly could have been covered by homeowner's insurance.
