The customer should get a medal and $10K bonus, as he saved a lot of money for local government.
On a side note, this type of occurrences happen weekly in my neck of the woods:

The female homeowner told investigators she was doing some housework when she heard something break. She retrieved a pistol and hid in a closet. When the armed intruder opened the door, Gonzalez said the woman fired one shot, and it was fatal.
According to Sheriff Gonzalez, the intruder was armed with a gun.
"I commended her," said Gonzalez. "She was shaken up, but kudos to her. She could have been a victim. There's no way to know what could have happened. We're glad that she is alive."

In general, I agree.
Israel has only about 8% as much violent crime as the US. This is largely because the country is so well armed.

OTOH, when I lived in Michigan, there was a case there of a guy's car breaking down at night and his walking up to a farmhouse to ask to make a call (was the days before cellphones), when the farmer who owned the place shot him.

Race of the robbers omitted as usual in such cases, lest the overwhelming statistics be added to.
