Car Keys Down the Drain

Parked up in Yambol, happy as a sandboy on a sunny day with free time to wander around town this Monday morning. Shopping taken out of the back of the car and just about to press to lock on my electronic key and it slipped out of my hand. No problem, all I need to do was pick it up, but no! It had fallen down a drain where I was parked and now lurking in rotting leaves at the bottom about half a metre down. What was I to do? how could I retrieve it and not ruin up until now a pleasant day?

To cut a long story short, it took a trip to the police station and they helped me out with a member of the firebrigade to supply tools to get the drain open and retrieve the key some three hours later! More bad luck was the extra fees I had to pay for the parking space! Monday blues somehow were hard to avoid after this.
