I routinely drive up to our field and see guys flying over the road, out of bounds, at our club and when I mention it to them ( in a kindly way ), they always deny it.
I don't get upset about it, or threaten to ban them, or their aircraft, because I have been guilty as well.

And I'll bet everyone here, including Mr. Wizard, has too.

Every AMA field I have ever flown at has strict NO FLY boundaries at the extreme ends of the field. Busy highways / interstate 2 / houses / electrical power lines situated at the ends of these fields. I've been driving past these fields almost daily for over 25 years and also have spent countless hours and entire days at these fields and very rarely have I seen planes out of bounds.
In all this time I have NEVER seen RC flown way out of bounds on purpose, for the thrill of it.
