When it comes to tech., some crooks have it some crooks do not. A neighbor's kid is a possibility. As to it being far more likely, I fail to see sufficient information being provided to come to that conclusion.
While it is possible to outfit a model plane with a camera, I have yet to come across anyone who encountered a model airplane with camera snooping around or peeping. There is a degree of difficulty to overcome with fixed wing versus copter-like drones and being able to snoop/peep.
As to copter-like drones, I have and my neighbors have encountered such peeping in windows.
The desire to shoot it down is immaterial of the platform. Further it has nothing to do with being a gun nut or not. It is however correlated with what the other side is seeing or could possibly see.
Since you asked why, I feel it important to really put it in a context you can understand. To this I provide the following hypothetical example: Lets say you are giving the plumber a hummer as a tip for once again unclogging your toilet because you repeatedly fail to courtesy flush. Your neighbor has a quad copter and is curious why the plumber's van shows up so often for 15 minutes at a time. Your neighbor decides to have a look see using the quad copter. While giving that hummer to the plumber you notice a quad copter peeping through the window. Possibly recording your tip to the plumber. Odds are you are going to want to shoot it down and immediate is not soon enough. Again, hypothetically speaking.
