Surely area of effect weaponry would be better.
The higher collateral impact just serves as an extra lesson to any wannabe thieves.

I’d go with thermonuclear warheads

The article mentioned tear gas canisters be equipped instead. I can’t wait for a delivery robot to be near my property, someone tries to mess with it and gets gassed, then I get to enjoy tear gas as well from my front porch.

Or some kid walks past it, bumps it slightly and gets gassed in the face.

Well the next kid will think twice about bumping the bot.
