Eli Berger had only had his DJI Phantom 2 drone for about two weeks and was showing it off to an insurance agent in the parking lot of Las Cruces, New Mexico-based Coldwell Banker De Wetter Hovious Inc., where he’s an associate broker.
For some reason, the $1,500 quadcopter decided to fly north and did not respond to commands from Berger’s remote control. The last time he saw it, it was “flying toward a quiet and unsuspecting north Las Cruces neighborhood,” the Las Cruces Sun-News reports.
Berger told the newspaper he bought the drone to take aerial shots of his own listings, and to freelance for other agents, charging them for the same service.
