You should report this. Even now it is not too late. The police need to know that there was a prowler in your neighborhood. They will step up patrols.
If you shoot a prowler inside or outside of your home, you must convince the police officers that you believed that your life was in danger. I would never recommend going outside of your home to confront someone. They could have a bigger gun than you do. If someone should break through your window or door, I would think your life was in danger and have at it.
You cannot set traps in your yard or around your house. Highly illegal.
I would suggest getting a dog that is a lighter sleeper.
Glad you were not hurt.
