So sorry to hear that. Will keep an eye out. Is it bound to you? DJI might be able to trace it. Could be worth giving them a call and see what they say.
Report to DJI as they will be able to ensure it is not re registered to another user without your consent. They may also be able to give you some idea as to where it is??? from the data it stores/puts out. Although someone with greater knowledge than I will be able to advise you.
What a bummer. If caught they would only get a slap on the wrist. Personally I think they should have a hand cut off or maybe reintroduce the birch. In my opinion that is.
Report to police as well, and get a crime number. The po-po won’t lift a finger to catch the scrote(s) who took it, but at least you will be covered in case the drone is used for illegal activity (especially prison drug delivery) and connected to you!
My family laugh at me for when I saw a guy carry a Vacuum cleaner and I reckoned it was hiding drugs. But seeing several over as many days? Not everyone was having a cleaning day surely?
Worked in some prisons many years ago and was told drugs were stuffed into dead birds and thrown into the exercise yard. Sounds more hi-tech these days.
I’d also reintroduce the stocks to replace asbo’s which are worn as a badge of honour by the scrotes, humiliate the bastards, let the old folk through rotten food etc at them, could replace putting my dogs Pooh bags in the bin.
Cutting off limbs just means they become an even greater drain on the rest of us - I’m all for branding on the forehead as it’s much more cost effective!
I am of the ‘old school’ where crime actually earned a punishment. These days the punishments if any handed out are wishy washy at best. If you were being naughty a policeman could give you a clip round the ear and your parents were informed and you got a second one because ‘you must have deserved it!’
But then parents were the deciding factor. Taught right from wrong but sadly it seems nowadays those family values are no longer taught.
Living in a fairly typical inner-city area with a lot of drug use and a high petty crime rate, I get the impression that the po-po have more or less given up on taking any action against what they consider minor offences because of the difficulty of getting a successful prosecution with effective punishment. So there is very little deterrent to the scofflaw element, who know the odds are in their favour and accect a few months over the wall as an occupational hazard. The up-and-coming kids are much impressed with this and eager to prove themselves in the business.
Drugs are clearly at the root of much of the problem, and this means organised crime with a hierachy imposed by fear, but where loyalty is rewarded. There’s a whole economy based on it, and the police ignore it at the lower levels, saying that they are after the dealers higher up the chain, all very well but they have a pretty low success rate with those guys. I’ve seen drugs distributed to local runners from a bloke in a Beamer parked literally outside our local police station in broad daylight!
