commercial drones must have by law a remote ID, think of it like a unique number for each drone, so you might want to try using some phone apps like DroneTag to get that ID and then report it to the authorities. They will have a record of who that drone belongs to.

Follow the drone until it lands
What country?
there's a software package floating around to hijack drones and remote control them yourself. it might be time to test the drone's security capabilities
Are you legally allowed to own a shotgun?
Don't shoot down drones. In the US it counts as shooting down an aircraft and you'll have the FAA knocking at your door
OP stated this was in europe. Out of the FAA's jurisdiction. The EASA may have similar rules though
I'd be very surprised if that were true for ones not registered with the FAA.
Just looked it up for Germany: over residential areas you need either "an explicit permission of the owner", or "it is very light (<250g) and has no ability to record video, audio or radio" or "it is more then 100m above ground, not in the night and some other fingerprint" [1].
In all EU you actually need a registration on your some clearly visible [2].
So, of they are below 100m or in the night, just call the authorities. If you live a bit outside it might just not clear from above that it's private property.
