Only nondeadly force may be used to defend property in one's possession (other than one's home) from unlawful interference.  In terms of real property, interference means entry or trespass.  In the case of personal property, interference means removal or damage.  The need to use force must reasonably appear imminent.  The use of deadly force is never justified to protect property alone.
