Thank you for that, Steve. It inspired me to push further.. I took time to write a final response and it worked! I got the drone back today, without paying a dime. I signed the waiver and got the drone back. Will be uploading the video in a bit. Here is the final email that I sent:

UPDATE: 09/24/2016 (Demand letter sent and response received)
So I sent a 'pre-suit demand' (attached) and it worked! Took me a couple hours to research this but if anyone needs some verbiage and runs into a similar problem in FL heres a fairly good template for you! :P I got a call back 30 min...
No I haven't - Not sure it would be worth it? I'm looking up filing a 'complaint of replevin' (recovery of property) but it will cost $230 to file. I'm thinking of filing as pro-se.

UPDATE: 09/21/2016

They are now holding my Drone because they...

It's funny you mention the drone retrieval...
The drone was there as of 5:00am this morning, it is a fairly hard spot (and high) to access. But it is there! I am afraid of them denying it, but really am anxious to get it back. I know I messed up - but I surely hope there is some sort of remedy here..
Not a bad idea Quid, but it's a private employee building which they have made it very clear I cannot come back. They said they would assist helping but would contact me if found and not to come back. I wonder if I can get a hold of the engineering dept. by phone? Originally they said that...
On Tuesday, August 30th, I ended up losing signal with a return to home altitude that was too low and caused my drone to crash on a building (160 ft high). I met a security guard who was cool enough to go out of his way to check the roof where he is not allowed to be and has confirmed the drone...
