Hello
I found a Mavic Pro in Yosemite National Park back in March 2018. It was pretty banged up and in a number of pieces when I discovered it in some bushes between trees next to the Merced River by the Information Center Parking lot. I tried to let the rangers know but it seems their website was only for those looking for something lost and not vice versa. I was in the area for a couple of hours photographing Half Dome and thought I would see someone looking for their lost equipment, but nobody showed up. Honestly I had no idea how expensive these items were until recently, and it was not clear to me how I may repatriate the drone with its owners. I took another look at the equipment today and found the qsr codes I scanned with my smartphone and it led me to this web site, and after a little more searching I found this forum. I checked all the postings since I found the equipment and no one has posted a lost notice so not sure if they are still looking. I will try reading the mini sd card for any clues as noted on other threads, and maybe try to register it, as also suggested, to get this item back to its rightful owners.
So I just tried to register the drone with the FAADroneZone but bailed as they wanted $5, I was hoping once the serial number was posted something would trigger a response, but nothing happened.
