Look out! Drone in your area
Hi everyone,
This afternoon (about an hour ago) I was flying my drone around the Te Ahumairangi Hill Trig point lookout taking some shots of the city and a huge gust of wind blew it northwest of that spot. Surrounding streets are Pembroke road, Bedford st, Glamorgan st etc – but it could be anywhere in northland/wilton – this is just the general area where it lost connection. Attached is an image of the last known GPS coordinates before the drone lost connection, so I assume it's not far from here. I've also included a photo of what the drone looks like.
If anyone finds it, or heard any buzzing noises nearby, I would be so appreciative of any information, and I'd be more than happy to give a reward for anyone who knows where it is. I'm so gutted, so if you or anyone you know can tell me anything at all that would be amazing!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

How to block interference from an irrelevant poster?
Can anyone give advice on how to do this? I have already reported the interference to the neighbourly team.
