Hi, I have been given a P4 Pro. But I doubt it stolen. Do we have tools or softwar that can retrieve history of it.
I have the serial number from the aircraft.

Thanks

None that I'm aware of.  DJI has privacy laws to abide by, I would think.

DJI will not reveal previous owner data. Too bad.

They should open that hidden file.

Hi,
Thanks for all your response.
As a gift reiceving, I dont want to upset the previous owner if his/her been robbed.
Hopefully, I can use it with a peace in mind now.

Dom, please PM me the SN of your drone to further confirm. Any error you got from your app? Why did you consider it as a stolen drone?

If someone "gave" me a P4P, my first remark would be "Thanks!  Where in the world did you get this?"  You stopped at "Thanks!"?

Well if my mom or my sister knew that I wanted one and they gave me one one day, that would be good enough, but I get the impression that this "gift" was more casual.  Evidence:  The question arises as to how to find out if it's stolen.  I wouldn't want to receive stolen property (a crime).  If Mr. Generous gets in trouble, he may have to tell the authorities who all received the objects of his benevolence.  I, and many reasonable folks, would try to satisfy myself that my gain is not someone else's loss.

If it had been registered in the US with the FAA then there would be a place to start.  I am unfamiliar with the laws "down under" Please excuse my ignorance but does Australia have similar regulations to the US, UK, and others etc.?

You could always check at the local police station see if anybody has reported it missing.

Hi all, I've just purchased a new Mavic 2 Pro today, but can't seem to activate it. The activation error code is 1112. Should I be worried? Is it stolen?

There's no way to tell as DJI have no register of stolen drones.
