Default Pilot flying over his home watches theif...

Pretty lucky pilot. The article makes it sound like the pilot did not attempt to have ATC pass the word along to the authorities. He was flying a Cessna, so he almost certainly had at least one comm radio. While buzzing over my home, I would have been telling ATC that I was witnessing a man break into my home and ask if they could call the cops.

Would that be considered "hunting" if he had tried shooting him from his airplane which is a illegal, or would it be covered under a castle law as trying to protect his personal property?

I wonder if he gets in trouble over the "dropped to 300 feet and buzzed his house" part.
