Liz Bertorellia was parted from her phone in the most devastating way.
She dropped it onto the balcony below her flat and had to helplessly watch from afar as people contacted her.
What did I do tonight? Oh ya know, dropped my phone off balcony to the unit below. Watchin' notifications roll in f… https://t.co/VpSStGW7Ko— liz bertorelli (@liz bertorelli) 1507088930
....all night.

HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO PREOCCUPY MYSELF ON TOILET WITHOUT AN IPHONE?? 🚨 ASKING FOR A FRIEND 🚨— liz bertorelli (@liz bertorelli) 1507147579
Things started to become a lot more tense after Liz looked at the weather forecast:

But, she did have a plan.
Update: I need to sleep 😴 but I will be buying these supplies tomorrow and we can all hope for the best, okay? ❤️… https://t.co/KN9hcPAoMN— liz bertorelli (@liz bertorelli) 1507167634
Of sorts.
But her neighbours who owned the balcony weren't answering their door.
Update: Knocked on neighbours doors again, no answer. We're still waiting 🐶— liz bertorelli (@liz bertorelli) 1507205762
So Liz resorted to sticking notes under their door.
Update: More notes for mailboxes and under their door. 📝🚪 https://t.co/3yyX1u5i0a— liz bertorelli (@liz bertorelli) 1507207823
To no avail.
Update: Notes on neighbours doors are still there. The fuck do these people go all day and night? https://t.co/pGeVtZIdhD— liz bertorelli (@liz bertorelli) 1507238284
So she went to get some sticky tape.
Update: Finishing up work and going to buy some gorilla tape yall! If I get this phone back tonight, I'm making a candle lit dinner for 2 ❤️— liz bertorelli (@liz bertorelli) 1507235273
And she was determined to get the phone back.
Update: I am calling my rock climbing friends over! THE PHONE WILL AND NEEDS TO RETURN TONIGHT BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A REAL ALARM CLOCK ⏰— liz bertorelli (@liz bertorelli) 1507241430
By any means necessary.
Update: Here goes nothing! https://t.co/Qr495ZjsVq— liz bertorelli (@liz bertorelli) 1507242405
But it didn't work.
Update: IT FAILED HARD and my dog is barking and a @TorontoStar photographer is here now to document. BRB.— liz bertorelli (@liz bertorelli) 1507243381
The good news was that there was still signs of life.
Update: My sweet prince is ALIVE even after 19hours alone. Look at those notifications 😇📱 https://t.co/vOVGPSPDFt— liz bertorelli (@liz bertorelli) 1507156389
So it was onto even more sophisticated contraptions.
OKAY TEAM! Here are all the tall objects I could find in my place + drone + dog. https://t.co/c3zYXqYhpl— liz bertorelli (@liz bertorelli) 1507152720
Genius.
