When it comes to land, catch it and you've got yourself a drone! For all Amazon knows, could have malfunctioned and crashed.

I'm guessing that these will be controlled by some DaveyLC sitting behind a monitor, so likely they'll know you stole it.
At the very least they'll be equipped with a GPS tracker.

Looks amazing! However, they sound so noisy in that vid (and the ones the weirdos have been posting in their thread) and how can they genuinely get so many in the air safely flying around, never mind the whole not landing on someones head thing!

Order some cheap shit via drone. Sit and wait. It'd be like a futuristic grouse drive

Interesting that we'd all think this would be cool yet everyone's initial thought is how to scam it by stealing the drone or knocking the thing out the sky.
Which is ironically the reason it won't work.

Or until it lands in someones garden, A dog attacks it and Amazon get an invoice for reattachment of a Jack Russels face.

What's the difference between that and one of their Courier's running over a domestic cat?

I don't get it, surely it can't lift much weight and those items will be cheap to deliver via 1st class anyway.
Can't see this happening, but wouldn't mind shooting at them if we do get them.

Apologies, I don't have a cat and was unaware they were restricted to gardens.

This it says up to 2.6kg which accounts for 82% of their deliveries

I mean;
If they run one over on the road, Its on the road and the driver has more right to be there
If a dog gets sliced up by a drone that flies into the garden then the dog has more right
