Next time it will be non magnetic stainless steel so he can't stop it with a small magnet in the hole he drilled.

I've got at least 2 or 3 ot the screws that go into the top of the radio bezel in the defroster duct. I bought a bag of those screws for just that reason. They used the same screw for everything on it, so...
My fear of that is bad enough that I work with the caution of a brain surgeon when I'm messing with those screws.
So do I, unfortunately I have the hands of a Marine Infantryman.
This thread makes me think of waiting (more times than I can count) for that final "metal-on-concrete" clink after the screw, nut, bolt, socket, or other dropped small object pinballs its way down through the engine bay. That final clink is music to my ears. If it never comes, my stress level skyrockets and I know I won't sleep well that night unless the offending object is found and removed. Unfortunately I think I have sold a vehicle or two over the years with the missing object still in the engine bay somewhere.
Two things I have learned when working on a vehicle. Gravity does not affect the direction dirt, screws, bolts, or nuts fall. Dirt goes straight for your eyes, the others to the smallest, inaccessible openings.
