Even then the SIM could be untracable back to a purchaser.
If it's a sophisticated drone then it will contain components which may hold account information. DJI drones require account registration to fly them through an APP.

It could also be a custom built drone that will hold no information.

It's not unheard but they can fly 1000's of Metres in the air, at these heights, they will not even appear to be a dot in the sky. Even at 100 M it will just barely be visible, it will be like trying to shoot at a Blue bottle 10 M away.
