Proper response is to find the person and leave a horse's head in his bed.

Now, seriously, its nothing to be too worried about, just keep and eye on
it with displeased intrest. Port scans, while a nuisance, are just too hard to
keep up with. Even automated breakin attempts are starting to become too
much for me (1 host, 2 months, 1600+ failed logins, 300+ unique IPs). It's
starting to become too much of a hassle. Just batten down the hatches,
keep up to date with patches, and watch your logs for any signs of a
breakin.
