It would seem that the pos thieves themselves placed the value of the truck above that of their own lives! They chose to steal it! If it's valuable enough for them to risk their lives taking it, it's valuable enough to end their lives protecting it. It's a simple cause and effect. They chose to illegally take something that a complete stranger invested her time, money, and energy into. This is the result. Place the onus where it belongs. On the criminal, not the victim.
