There's some more info on our Facebook page once I get around to write it up

The hand held radios are illegal?!?! We use radios in the city so we can find each other if we get separated (that's easy to do in crowded areas).
I wonder what the deal would be with a dash cam? We just got one because when you're a foreigner and you have a vehicle accident you're automatically at fault (we all know the locals are stellar drivers  ). I figure the dash cam will give me some video evidence if necessary.
I can see they might have an issue with a camera equipped "drone" with all the crap going on there though I understand also the reason you might want to take it.
I hope you get the vehicle back.
