I have a neighbor that has seen me fly my drone several times, and at one point stated that she has to get her husband one.
Jumping forward about a year, she bought herself a drone, not for the hubby, but for herself, not a DJI.
One day, she is stomping around in my back yard searching, looking low all around.
My bride & I go out to help her as she said she lost her drone.
She had the controller or cell phone in her hand and it was beeping as she got closer to the bird.
I heard her say, "it's right here somewhere".
Now my next-door neighbor comes out to join the search party, now we are 4 strong.
Everyone is searching in bushes, looking in branches of low trees, looking on the ground.
Learning from my past loss, I look up higher and spot it on the neighbor's roof.
The female pilot (neighbor) calls her husband to bring over a ladder and retrieves her bird.
Now we are 5 stong....LOL.
I guess through humiliation, the neighbor returned the drone, got her money back and never flew again.
She never came to me asking for pointers or help.
As it goes, sorrowful, another pilot bites the dust.
