We'll just have to wait for more details.
Would you instead propose to invite the kid in and try to reason with him? Perhaps try to discern his motivations and intentions over a glass of Chardonnay?

Maybe you could just stand there impotent with the police on the line, watching someone carry off your posessions while you wait for the police? There certainly won't be any repeat robberies after you are deamed an easy target. Besides, the kid probably deserved your hard-earned stuff more than you because he had an rough life or something.
