<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

Background: I own an Apple Extended Keyboard 2 M0312, circa 1991, cream Alps mechanical switches, in perfect condition, perfectly gray without any yellowing and was never restored.

Anyways, I was washing those keycaps in my kitchen sink by hand, and  I didnt have the plug that kept anything but liquids from going down the drain. I washed the keycaps individually one at a time, but I got lazy at the end and decided to wash 5 at a time when…

**FUCK!**

3 of them drop down the drain.
I called the apartment building's plumbers up, hoping all 3 were waiting for me in the P-trap. The guy came in 5 minutes and opened it up… when suddenly…

**THERE WAS ONLY ONE KEYCAP IN THE P-TRAP AND THE REST FLOWED PAST IT.**

I took that one out and he was about to leave, but I insisted that he take apart the rest of the plumbing in my unit. After about 2 hours, nothing was found. The keycaps were on their way to the Vancouver City's sewage plant, where they'll end up being separated and thrown into a pile of plastic that will be melted and recycled.

Those were perfect keycaps, with original gray color, and has never met Retr0bright.

Anyways I decided to pay the plumber who normally does everything for free an extra $10 to be sorry for wasting his time and saw him leave.

Then I retreated to the couch, picked up the Macbook, and now I'm here.
<bot>: I dropped 3 perfect vintage keycaps down the drain while washing 5 of them, recovered one dropped keycap, and the other two have been flushed away on their journey to become recycled plastic.
