The Sky Is Falling!...Well, actually...

...a DJI Mavic 2 Drone just hit my roof.

Somebody is bummed out. I looked it up and it's a $1000 drone, but no controller or charger.

Somebody will be driving around real slow looking for it.

I'll ask around to see if anybody lost one...

No telling where it came from.

Maybe they'll offer a reward, because I really don't want it. A controller and charger for it would set me back a few hundred.

A guy from the other side of the river used the GPS on the drone and he reclaimed it. Even showed me the video of it hitting the house before the battery popped out.

A nice guy who ironically is also into 3D printing. He was really appreciative that someone honest found and returned it.

That's nice, a happy ending.

Destiny

Don't tell him you considered profit on his lost drone.

I tried to pitch selling him my RC Planes...

Who knows?
I'd love to find someone to buy my stuff, because I'll never use it.

I'm just giving all my stuff away I know I will never use again.

Want a tanning bed with a massage table?

I had an RC plane once. Couldn't take it off or land it but could fly it. It was a large glider type. I had a friend take it off and when it was time to land I'd hand it back to him.
