Balcony Fishing

So in case you are ever cleaning a table cloth in the middle of the night and it slips off your balcony and lands on a terrace 30 feet below to which you have no access, here's a tip. Get a lot of string, a coat hanger, a thumb tack and some tape. Make the above contraption with the thumb tack taped to the hook of the coat hanger. Hang your contraption from another long piece of string and fish your table cloth from the terrace below. Tested and effective, but your results may vary. Make sure no one sees you so they don't call the Department of Homeland Security.
