Thank you for your response. Not to worry, you can still contact our relevant team to report this issue, and they will record the stolen aircraft in the system. Our support team will contact you if we receive the product in the future. Please rest assured that DJI will reject offering a service if other customers send it back. I hope for your understanding and patience.

Yeah so after talking to your Staff account binding is absolute junk unless you want your device serviced,  you can stop my drone from flying in a no-fly zone but you can't stop someone from flying a stolen drone. all it takes is a new account and bam they can fly my stolen drone till the end of time without getting it repaired by DJI. Thank you DJI for dropping the ball on a antitheft feature!

I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused. I was able to find your flyaway case using your forum account. Since you already reported this aircraft, please rest assured that DJI will refuse to offer a service if other customers send it back. Thank you.

We are deeply sorry for any inconvenience. Currently, DJI cannot perform remote locking for your missing aircraft. Thanks for your understanding.

Mine was stolen in April, I report to to dji straight away,they said that they will contact me when someone will try to fly it. No news ever since..Its strange,cause such a smart gadget,but can't be locked to one account? Did you use words privacy etc? What is about my privacy? Someone can easily connect and make a lot of mess with it(don't wanna bring any ideas for bad people

Hi there. I was flying my Neo When it suddenly lost signal, connection and fell to the ground. My phone number is written all over the drone, and the next morning I got a call from a person who had found my drone. He said he had found it and it was pretty mangled up (I wonder if he was expecting me to say just keep it). Anyway, it's been a couple of days, he's not answering my telephone calls or responding to text. I think he may have changed his mind about returning the drone. Is there a way to block the drone at least temporarily? I think i if it didn't work at all, she might suddenly change his mind. I can obviously involve the police as I have his telephone number, but I thought this might be more expedient.
