My entire family was vacationing for an extended weekend in a cabin in Gatlinburg last year.  A couple of cabins away from us were several younger couples and they had a drone.  They loved flying in by the cabins, especially at night.  A couple of us asked for them to not fly it by our windows at night, because they would allow it to hover and the drone had a camera.  Well those requests were ignored.  Several of us were having coffee on the back deck a couple of nights later, and the drone flew up.  It was a third story deck, so it was several feet in the air.  It began to hover, and the folks with the controller was tickled to death with their maneuver.  They were on their deck and watching.  So, I took the drone out with a large rock.

I would do the same with any drone flying in my personal space.  And if a rock didn't work, I'm a great shot with a 12 gauge.

Is there a "rest of the story?" Were you seen throwing the rock, or did you kill the lights before taking out the drone? 

I will probably add a drone to my collection of gadgets some day, but people who use them to invade other people's privacy deserve to get pelted with a rock.

I'm no Paul Harvey, so the "rest of the story" is pretty mundane.  They saw the drone go down, but I'm not sure they knew exactly who threw it.  I didn't care if they did see me; I certainly didn't hide!!!
