Uh, oh! Where did it go?

I was trying to stick my neighborhood RFID tag onto the inside of the windshield of my EQS SUV. The RFID tag fell down deep, deep inside. Based on YT videos, it looks like it might have fallen down into the area where the 12v battery is. I gotta raise the hood to get to that area, of course, but that's easy enough. Anyone got a clue the RFID tag might have actually gone?

Never mind - I could barely see the corner of the tag peeking out through the cutout, so I figured out a way to get it. I used some spray contact adhesive on a small portion of one side of on a long (thin) tongue depressor to work it out. Whew.
