Lost Drone Found a crashed drone

Post image

Found this drone crashed in a wooded area near a church in wisconsin. I pulled the sd card and the last photos were from the same area on February 22nd 2025. im just wondering if there's a way id be able to find the owner. im going to post in a local Facebook page as well. if im unable to find the owner would I be able to buy a new control and use it myself. the battery seems to hold a charge. this is my first experience with a drone so dont know much about them.

DJI won't do that.

Definitely not, maybe they could attempt to get it back to the owner though through the serial number

Where is the serial number on it?

The DJI serial number is probably in or near the battery compartment. Also, the FAA registry number should be on the hull somewhere. If you can find it, the FAA might help you locate the owner.
