if it's the usual ones you get on a streets you can just pull the cover up they will either come out completely or are on a swing arm.

whats wrong with jumping down there and fishing them out?
it's not as if he's going to look that clever if there's a bot of rain and he losses them for good is it

step one: remove shoes and socks

step two: roll up trousers

step there: jump in and fish about

step four: exit drain hollerin' and whoopin' with delight once you have retrived your keys

I dropped my keys down a drain miles from home in the old days before mobile phones and the only way to get them back was lying flat in the road with my arm all the way down, like James Heriot style!

Don't know what was down there but
A) I had to keep my arm out the window all the way home
B) The keys came out lovely and shiny!!!!

Step 7: realise that the water has buggered up the key fob so you have to buy a new one anyway!!!
