No, I do not, but if I were a betting man etc. The landing to recover and recharge was always going to be the Achilles heel of this endeavour. Next time the culprit may invest in a number of hacked cheap drones and it's fire and forget in that once the battery goes they let it land and abandon it. Then they launch a new one from a different location.

I suspect DJI will be launching a hunter-killer drone shortly, cheap to buy and if an intruder appears you assign it a target and this thing will intercept and ram it. Will we have stealth drones etc, fascinating to watch drone warfare evolve so to speak.

p.s. I read about the cyclist recovering a drone is suspicious circumstances.
