Unfortunately you can't do anything but make your stuff as difficult and undesirable to steal as possible. And make sure your property insurance covers you and is paid up.
Even caught red-handed, you can't do a d*mn thing. You can't prevent them from leaving, that's unlawful imprisonment. You can't pull a gun on them, that's assault with a deadly weapon. You can't beat them up, that's assault and battery.
They can just take what they want with impunity. That's why it's getting worse.
The reality is that the cost to prosecute and jail these people far exceeds the value of what they stole. The judicial system and jails are already overcrowded. It's not likely that a petty thief is going to end up with much of anything if caught.
