Or, they don't fish them out but flush them. A mobile phone retrieved quickly from a toilet bowl may work again, given time and prayer. A flushed one will never be seen again. Ditto keys, money... and apparently a flushed sweater will block a loo very comprehensively and require a plumber to retrieve. *thanks all deities everywhere that none of this has ever happened to me*
Little plastic sheep, however, I seem to remember staying behind, which is not much consolation to the person whose keys have just disappeared round the U-bend.
Owing to an incident of clumsiness in the world's tiniest toilet cubicle last year, I managed to flush a pair of sunglasses down the toilet. I was very surprised that they flushed away, having had no prior experience of the flushableness of everyday objects.
