'Never, ever try to shoot at a drone.' Neighborhoods buzz with complaints over pesky drones

Here's what to do when a drone gets too close for comfort. Sam Sargent uses a DJI drone to get aerial photographs of a home for sale in the Crocker Highlands neighborhood of Oakland. Users here of the local social network Nextdoor for months have been stewing about these small, flying vehicles, which often carry cameras, accusing them of snooping or maybe casing the joint. They wonder if it's legal to fight back, say by lassoing the pesky vehicle flying outside their window – or even shooting it down with a potato gun. Oakland resident Katy O'Neill goes as far as blaming it for shattering her dining room window.
