So, I found this drone called the 4DRC F10 Vicky in my garden. It doesn’t have a remote or anything with it. Is this thing even worth trying to figure out? Any advice would be great.
From what I’ve read online, this seems like more of a toy than a proper drone. Without the remote, it’s probably not worth much. There are a lot of complaints about this model losing signal and flying away. That’s probably how it ended up in your yard, and it’d likely do the same if you got it working.

Thanks for the info! I figured it was cheap. I did manage to connect it to an app and see the camera feed, but I couldn’t figure out how to make it fly. It’s either the app doesn’t work, or I’m doing something wrong since it’s all in Chinese.
@Alex
Just a fun fact—DJI and Autel, some of the top drone brands, are also Chinese. Not all stuff from there is low quality.

Oh, I didn’t mean it like that! Where I’m from, we use the word ‘cinesata’ to describe something cheap and unreliable. It wasn’t meant to generalize.
Did you try contacting anyone who might’ve lost it? I know with DJI drones, they can disable it if it’s reported stolen or lost. Not sure if this company does the same.

I haven’t contacted anyone because I don’t know where to start. I hope it’s not bricked or something.
@Alex
That’s fair. I’m not sure if this company does that, but just wanted to give you a heads-up. Hope you figure it out!

Thanks! Hopefully, someone here can help me get it working.
Maybe try posting on a local community page or Facebook group to see if anyone’s missing a drone?
