Valiant kid dangled into storm drain to retrieve a lost phone

Even the ideaof dropping your phone into a storm drain is a nightmare. Take heart, though: should this horror ever happen to you, you may just need to get creative.

Here's, uh, one idea: In a Reddit post on Monday, user 1minatur shared the highly innovative way their sister's friend retrieved a lost phone. Long story short, they ended up outsourcing the job... to a small, storm drain-sized kid.

Now, is this dangerous? Is it a potential Baby Jessica situation? Yes and yes. But the drain is shallow, and kid seems pretty excited about the whole endeavor. It's got to feel a little Mission: Impossible-ish to be dangled by your ankles into a sewer, right?

Anyway, we can't (in good conscience) recommend taking this approach. But they did get the phone back, so we won't recommend notdoing it, either. We love a happy ending!
