So... tell us how the FAA is gonna find out about this... Only way I can think of is if someone tattles on them to the FAA and tells the FAA exactly where to find the plane.
If a RC model airplane was flying over houses in my area, I would certainly call the FAA. If one crashed in to a roof with gasoline fuel onboard, it could start a fire. These RC model planes are supposed to be flown in wide open areas and not over houses.
Would you feel the same way if it were your next door neighbor's kids playing with an RC plane in their backyard and they accidentally allowed it to drift over in to your home's airspace?

EDIT: have you ever flown an RC airplane? they don't hold much fuel unless they've been modified..

I'd go to their parents 1st. But if they blew me off, I would report them.

Some bigger RC planes can hold plenty of fuel to start a fire... I used to fly them. Even the 'trainers' can hold 10oz of fuel if I remember correctly. I know they have planes with 20oz+ tanks.
