I've had this happen to me several times, but they mostly stayed out by the pool at my old house.
The random drunks sleeping in my lounge-chairs had the spotlights turned on them while I yelled for them to take it on their feet from inside the house with a pistol in one hand and the phone in the other with the blue on the line.
They usually wander off well before the cops show up.
The guy I found on my livingroom couch got a somewhat different treatment. I grabbed the phone and retreated to the top of the stairs after opening the front-door. From there I called the blue and waited quietly with a big can of pepperfoam and my AK. The cops came in and woke him up rather violently.
From that instance I learned never to leave ground-floor windows open no matter how nice of a night it is...
