Drone theft in Birmingham

Hi all. Please keep an eye out for these. They were stolen in a burglary along with the kids piggy bank! Yesterday. Right before Christmas.
This is a nice guy who can race a drone real well. Seen him race a couple of times.




There’s also a gofundme setup to help him on his feet again.

To add to this…

Smokyfpv (Jon) is one of the uk top racing pilots and a really nice guy. He helped me get started flying and for this to happen to him is devastating.

I really think we need to support him and help replace his child’s piggy bank

So please give all you can

Thanks for sharing, we should all try to make stuff like this too hot to handle.

Eyes peeled on eBay for the next couple of months, suggests he adds some search notification email alerts to his eBay too :+1:t2:

I’ve added all my stuff to Immobilise and would recommend others to.

You can mark items as stolen and they are instantly added to checkmend and NMPR.

Mother in law was burgled last week. Didnt get too much but it all adds up when you factor in the emergency joiner and cost of window, especially on a pension.

Fucking scumbags.

Immoblise won’t work for home brew quads as they don’t have serial numbers but yes for anything that does a great idea

You dont always need serial numbers. You can add items with descriptions and distinct markings.

Theres also a section to add your own identifier number with a UV pen. I use a forensic coded marker (smartwater).
