      @Wagmiman  What’s a camera gonna do? Drones don’t have a license plate. Cars are big and have license plates, and yet they get stolen all the time.

      @@Meowtomee Oh I get it. You were saying stealing drones will become as much of an issue as cars or bikes for example. Yeah most likely that will happen.
