How would you feel if your neighbor shot and killed someone breaking into your house while you were sleeping?

Is that an act that you reward with a gift basket, punish with a flaming porch poo bag, or do you respond with indifference?
--------------------
That's a hard one b/c you don't want your neighbor shooting just anyone. Sometimes people come home late or if you didn't inform your neighbor of a house guest you could have trouble! I think it would be better if the neighbor called the police unless they were 100% sure it was a burgler and they were sure that the burglar was going to hurt you and there was no time to call the police. Otherwise someone innocent could get hurt. I guess, I wouldn't respond with indifference. I would say something like "Thanks for watching out for me but I'm really glad that wasn't some kid pulling a prank or a friend trying to get in" That way the neighbor knows that someone lurking around might not always be "lurking". They could just appear to be lurking.
