Near miss with drone

Last week I almost had a dronestrike at slightly above 2.000ft AGL. Did you recognize that these bloody things go that high up? I just did some "research" on YouTube and saw bloodfreezing videos of drones going above clouds. I looked up the technical data from these beasts and they are something like 3 pounds heavy pieces potentially hovering around at our typical flight altitudes. I also talked to some local heros, who changed their car tuning habits into drone flying and found out they have not the simplest clue what airspaces are. Is there a big thread coming?
