Quoted: It was probably sent there to steal all the gold you've been hiding in your mattress. Or maybe your memaw's secret 9 bean soup recipe. This is the 21st century version of coming home to find a soccer ball in your yard. View Quote Them damn plastic robot buzzers are stealin' my tobaccy! I've never seen a bigger collection of people who brag about being luddites. Also wierd how many people think their kids should be kept away from technology and spend all day outside playing with sticks. Congratulations on raising a bunch of janitors and retail workers. Nothing wrong with those jobs, but smart people prepare their kids to have more options. |

Quoted: I refuse to get vaxxed but I do fly a drone with an iPhone... And my wife and I own both an Outback and a Ridgeline I bask in the GD hate View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Wait until we find out the guy who owns it is fully vaxxed and drives a Tesla. GD hates technology. And they're not so sure about gravity either. It's not in the Bible. I refuse to get vaxxed but I do fly a drone with an iPhone... And my wife and I own both an Outback and a Ridgeline I bask in the GD hate I sold Hondas for a couple of years. I think they Ridgeline would be the perfect truck for the vast majority of suburban pickup drivers. It is kind of gay, though. Same with the Can Am Spyder. Super gay. I just can't pull the trigger. But it would be crazy fun to ride. I've crashed two motorcycles. Apparently motorcycles aren't my thing. But I love riding. But it's just so GAY |

Quoted: I bought a $100 drone off Amazon for a halloween party a few years ago. We'd been drinking all day and I gave the controller to my buddy He flew it over my house towards the woods in my back yard Last time I ever saw it View Quote I have a cheap China drone. Bought it for a couple of hundred off Banggood. I took off the first time, it departed for parts unknown. I'm sure it was me calibrating it wrong. Kind of wrestled/faked it back by making it fly random paths that didn't really correspond with what I felt I was telling the controller to do. Got it back in my general vicinity and jumped up and grabbed it. Cut the shit out of my hand. Haven't touched it since. I'll figure it out eventually. Or not. |

someone(FBI) probably intentionally dumped it in your yard hoping you would take the chip memory card out and put it in your computer,then download lots of bad virus and kiddie porn.

View Quote I would say it's perfect for most pickup owners period Most owners don't come close to ever using what they drive to its full potential Even after spending absurd amounts of money on "upgrades" they spend 99% of their life on pavement If we go off-road it's either on Rokons or horseback in places where even the most capable trucks could never go |

Quoted: If the drone is over a certain weight and the owner followed the law, he should have labeled it with his ID. Try removing the battery to see if there's a label in the compartment. View Quote Registration number is required to be on the outside of the aircraft. I put my phone number in a readily visible area, too. If anything other than a cheap toy, you might find a serial label in the battery compartment...I know DJI puts a label in there. If there's a registration number on the craft, you could probably chase down the owner through the FAA. And, PLEASE, don't be hatin' on drone pilots! The huge majority of us are NOT trying to spy on anyone or invade your privacy. |

Store bought type drone, or new freebie from UncleJo Taliban issue type drone?
....keep an eye out for cloven hoofprints and goat droppings |

It's yours now. Take the memory card out and do whatever you want with the drone. Sell it back to the owner. If they bitch destroy it.

Before I thought someone was spying on my boring residential home I’d probably just think someone was screwing around with their new toy when it lost power and they lost it.
I’d put up a couple of signs and see if someone is looking for it. |

I am starting to get worried about the OP. Did the drone's self destruction sequence get triggered and take out the wing of the OPs home where he does all his internet sleuthing? ?? This could spell trouble for grumpy old men in all over the nieborhood.

If Someone left there garbage in my yard I would throw it in the trash.

Quoted: Ask your neighbors to ask their neighbors if someone lost one. It isn't that hard to be a good person and an act of kindness is generally better than being an asshole in the long run. Plus good neighbors might come in handy in the future. Of course YMMV, but it sounds like you live in a nice neighborhood. View Quote |

I'd have already sold it to lil homey round the way. He'd give me like $40 for it fa sho cuh. He's always buying stuff "found" around the neighborhood.

Why do people even bother to post if they aren't going to come back and answer questions? We should be able to vote to ban posters who pull shit like this.

Since this has turned into a safe thread, I wonder if it actually happened?

I have spent more on designing and building drones than many people in this thread have likely spent on their cars. Not a registration number to be had. That includes a monster with 2 hp motors that each weigh almost as much as the 250g limit. Wont be playing with Drone ID bullshit or FRIA fly zones either. Fuck the FAA |

My 8 year old has a drone, he'd be pretty sad if he lost it. He'd also be pretty happy if he got it back.

Either try to look at video card to see if you can find who owns it or maybe put it on your porch. Someone will come look for it.

Quoted: Quoted: Registration number is required to be on the outside of the FIFY Unfortunately, the FAA stepped in and classified them as aircraft, and created a commercial license for the people operating them. The hobbyists didn't want any of that, because it came with a bunch of regulations and feds snooping around when they are bored (during the COVID shutdown, feds were 'working from home' by watching youtube videos to look for anyone that included drone videos, then checking to see if they had their commercial license and were following all the regs). The reason the FAA stepped in, is because of the people that were triggered by drones and caused an uproar (wanting something to be done about the pervcopters). A perfect example of 'be careful what you wish for', since the government's efforts do more to restrict drones flying over government property, than over private property, and impose the threat of a federal punishment for an individual intentionally damaging them. |

Quoted: I am a very quiet, private person. Married living in a quiet neighborhood ( 80% retired, 20% young couples first homes) Get out of my truck and there is a $%^&* drone on my front grass. Just got a new neighbor with 3 kids. I asked the oldest son if it was his? Very polite young man replies he does not own one. So now what? Should I bring the drone inside, remove the memory card and prank the owner with videos? I have nothing to spy on and live a boring life. Hate drones and see them as an intrusion. What says the hive?
