I didn't say it was an issue now, but I fear it will be. $10k now will be $1k soon enough. As all technology progresses, down comes price.
Police in Weatherford are investigating residential burglaries where each home burglarized has had a drone spotted within a block. Coincidence? Probably. Possible? Yes. There will ALWAYS be a minority that abuse, but having recourse against those few that do is all I care about. Flight logs will be kept by the honest only. I think drones will become a much larger part of society in the future, for good and bad.
Fair point on the cost.
I'd be interested to see a map of the burglary locations. Not that you implied belief, but just because o have a suspicion that the multi rotor is completely unrelated and just happened to be flying in the area.
I can't imagine it would be all that great for scoping out the interiors of houses before a robbery.
