I sleep with my knife beside me. If I hear someone sneaking around my tent in the middle of the night, they are probably up to no good. I will do what it takes to defend myself. Someone taking your pack in the middle of the woods is attempted murder. You need the food and supplies in them. If someone sneaks in my tent in the middle of the night, they get stabbed, no questions asked. It is the same as a burglar breaking in your house.
