If you removed all regulations, drone theft would be legal. If it's on your property, it belongs to you. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.214.227|108.162.214.227]] 18:42, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

:But if there's no regulations, who cares about what's on your property and what isn't? I'd be sending out my drones to catch more drones rather than try running around waving a net. Not to mention that while drones might be unregulated, drone nets might still be.

You mean we AREN'T living in a sci-fi dystopia right now? There are skies that are patrolled by robots with missiles. {{unsigned ip|173.245.56.210}}

Does this have anything to do with 1243 ? I mean it suggest largely the same thing just on a different scale

:That might be it. Especially that title text: 'It's going in A collection of satellites skewered with pins and mounted in display boxes.' [[User:Nk22|The Twenty-second. The Not So Only. The Nathan/Nk22]] ([[User talk:Nk22|talk]]) 16:59, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 
 
 
I deleted this explanation.
 
:Alternatively, the title text could be interpreted to mean that the drones have already become self aware, and are incorrectly listing the nets as out of stock to prevent their capture.
 
Maybe we should create [[1523: Microdrones/Funny explanations for 12 year olds]]. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.238.144|108.162.238.144]] 14:43, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 
 
 
:It is also my interpretation that the Amazon drones have altered the Amazon database to list the nets as out of stock.  Your comments regarding "12 year olds" are... needless. -[[User:452|452]] ([[User talk:452|talk]]) 15:06, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 
 
 
::Moreover, this is, if not a humor site per se, at least a site with a habit of deadpan humor building upon the essential humor of the comics. Furthermore, the anonymous use of unfounded ad hominem attacks to subtract such humor makes one sound like a meanyhead spoilsport.

France has started trying to catch drones with a drone dragging a net recently.  I thought this might be a reference to the [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2948062/The-drone-catcher-France-reveals-flying-net-stop-terrorists-flying-bomb-laden-gadgets-nuclear-power-stations-following-spate-sightings.html Malou Tech drone Interceptor] [[Special:Contributions/108.162.215.184|108.162.215.184]] 16:27, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 
 
 
The problem: Unidentified drones. The solution: No regulations, legal to steal. The outcome: Drone manufactures will incorporate DRM inside each drone making it their interest to be identified. Problem solved. [[Special:Contributions/141.101.99.11|141.101.99.11]] 06:20, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 
 
 
What is the present legal situation with trespassing drones?  Can property owners just take them?  Do they need to hand them into the police? {{unsigned ip|108.162.249.172}}

Forget theft of microdrones; what about natural predators?  https://youtu.be/Hr-xBtVU4lg?t=15s  (Not unique to copters, either, see https://youtu.be/vdgvlHH3JSA ) [[Special:Contributions/162.158.255.187|162.158.255.187]] 09:54, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
