Absolutely the right thing to do. I don't care how technically gifted these people are. They are morons who deserve whatever legal consequences this might bring on.
This isn't about security researchers. There's a HUGE GAP between security research and setting up a situation that could kill someone's daughter, son, mom or dad. That incredibly stupid at the least and criminal at worst.
There are levels of this in tech all over. I don't know if it is about social isolation or something else. Things ranging from the kinds of privacy decisions made by people coding social networks to the totalitarian and inhumane approach seen in dealing with various large web players. It's almost like you are dealing with a non-human race (the Borg?) that is almost completely devoid of human feelings, emotion, consideration, respect, a sense of community and simply making decisions that are humane rather than cold and mechanistic.
The other one is morons flying multicopters above people, neighborhoods and around firefighting aircraft. How does a human being go there mentally? I don't know.
I applaud your actions.
What's worst is that it is likely this was not the first time they did this.
