I remember when an F-117 stealth fighter broke up and crashed in a suburban neighborhood near Balto. MD during an air show. The military blocked off the neighborhood until every bit of the plane had been removed.
Remember the one that was shot down in serbia? Then about a week later one of our bombs blew the $hit out of the chinese embassy’s Garage in Serbia... because... um... our maps were not up to date... my bet is the same “accident” will happen in this case.
Pretty much SOP to prevent souvenir hunters from carting off critical fragments of the aircraft which might aid in determining what failed, causing the crash in the first place.

I remember one that was shot down in Iraq. We never got that one back. The Chinese are probably still working on a clone.
