You don't own the airspace over your property though, the FAA does. I can stay at up to 400 feet over your property if I'm not over a densely populated area. Flying a drone over someone's house is plain stupid as well and should be avoided, but I can see a future where Amazon flies hundreds of drones at 400ft over someone's property as long as it's not densely populated, and destroying a drone will land the property owner in jail charged with a fellony, punishable up to 20 years: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/shooting-drone-will-get-you-20-years-in-prison-211541710.html http://finance.yahoo.com/news/shooting-drone-will-get-you-20...

There's at least some (though certainly not definitive) case law that suggest home owners have rights to 500 ft. or so above their property. e.g. http://www.wsj.com/articles/drones-boom-raises-new-question-who-owns-your-airspace-1431535417 http://www.wsj.com/articles/drones-boom-raises-new-question-... Though that's probably not all that relevant. To the degree that high-traffic package delivery by drone were to imminently become a thing, I'd expect rules to be quickly established at some level(s) of government. It's not clear to me that those rules won't tend to favor property owners.
