But... (playing the devil's advocate)... if it were a true story... perhaps he actually saved his / his wife's safety/health/lives... how many times do burglars not find what they are looking for and move into the next building? Or realise they have been seen/discovered and take violent action against those who have 'rumbled' them?

Perhaps, if this scenario happened, the old guy prevented a homicide inquiry - his own...

Just a thought...
