They really should have. Obviously, these thieves are in fact criminals who deserve to face justice for their crimes. Assaulting them, however, is not that justice, because vigilante violence is a terrible way to allow a society to be run. Film the incident and citizen's arrest them, then hand them over to the police. If these people aren't willing to do their due diligence to ensure due process is followed, there's no reason to treat them as anything more than people who've watched too many Batman movies.

I just wish our justice system actually taught people something. Its revolving door isnt justice for the victims. I totally understand the frustration of these people (I just caught a kid stealing from the carport two nights ago) and I believe if the criminals feared physical retaliation they would think twice before they acted. Two weeks on weekends in remand over and over again doesnt send a strong enough message.
