The group released this week an interactive Google map that shows where the drones are being flown from and provides basic information, including the type of unmanned aerial vehicle.

Kelly Perez and Orlando Moncada make a living getting people sexy bargains. They're two of the folks behind the Coconut Creek-based SensualSteals.com, which offers shoppers a different discounted item every day. (Its "Friday the 13th" special was a Jason-style hockey mask made by Fetish Fantasy Extreme at 45 percent off.)

But they're expanding past being the Groupon of dildos and into a new gig -- delivery. Once LoversLodge.com launches early next month, shoppers in Broward and Dade counties will be able to order any of about 25 products for immediate delivery, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, according to Moncada.
