How many UPS trucks are on the road on any given day? How does that number compare to your five news stories over the last five years?

You know that more than 5 UPS trucks have been hijacked in the last 5 years so I don't know why you are asking me for such a silly comparison. I have no proof but I would guess amount of people that will [Hijack a UPS truck] < [Shoot down a drone].
@lighybyte I think UPS truck hijackers are motivated, violent criminals. A couple of dumb teenagers, armed with a potato gun would probably shoot at a drone just for the hell of it + criminals + overly protective property owners
Have you ever tried to hit a drone-sized target with a potato gun? Do you realize how challenging that is?
Considering shooting down a drone would be a federal crime I can't imagine more people would be willing to do it when compared to robbing a truck.
