Shoot a video with a point of reference in the shot that showed the
drone trespassing on your property and file a complaint. Realistically
your best chance would be in civil court.

You'd have to have two videos going for that point of reference. And, you'd have to
prove ownership and/or control of the drone also. That could be difficult.

It would be pretty easy where I am with a single camera. I could just
get the power lines in the shot and it would be pretty simple to
determine from the angle of the shot exactly where the drone was.
That is particularly true if I shot from inside the screen cage so you
had two coordinates in the shot.

Figuring out who's drone it is becomes the main problem with all of
the registration schemed tho. It is not like these things have
transponders or tail numbers, even if the RSW TRACON had the people to
track them. You would just have to get in the golf cart and follow it
home. These things only fly 20 or 30 minutes.

Of course I suppose I could start shooting 2" mortars at it and wait
for someone to come bitch about it. Fireworks are legal here. ;-)
Shot out of a 6' PVC pipe, you can get pretty accurate with one and
the air burst is about 100' in diameter with the right shell.
It is just scaring birds if anyone asks.

Can't you buy a radar controlled anti-aircraft gun in Florida?

Dunno, I just found my old DC cop buddy who I lost when I moved here.
He turns out to be a class III FFL right here in Florida (Tarpon
Springs) I will ask him ;-)

As for now I will just have to shoot my mortars with iron sights
