Anyone ever drop anything down the dash vents?

What did you do? I accidentally dropped a small part down one of the defrost vents and, although i don't hear it rattling around, i'm wondering if it's okay to just leave it or if there's a way to get it out. It went down near the middle and it can't be seen, no matter how i try to look down into the vent.

Hrm...

It's most likely lost forever, hopefully it wasn't valuable/expensive!

I think to get that stuff out, you'll have to rip the entire dash apart :(

If one does, please photo document along the way!
