HYGIENE definitely wasn't top of mind for a US woman who became trapped in a cesspit after dropping her prized Apple Watch into the toilet.
Police in Bagley Township, about 400km from Detroit, Michigan, were called to rescue the unfortunate lady from the outhouse after she lowered herself in to retrieve the gadget and became trapped.
Conservation officers, state troopers and local police said they removed the toilet and then used a strap of some kind to haul her out of the revolting predicament.
A media release advised the public "if you lose an item in an outhouse toilet, do not attempt to venture inside the containment area...serious injury may occur".
It is unclear at this stage whether the watch was safely extracted - although the hapless woman would of course be able to use Apple's "find my device" feature to track its progress through the septic system.
