Step 1: Unplug a network cable from my switch in the basement.
Step 2: Run up to the loft and open the chimney access hatch.
Step 3: Figure out which cable i unplugged, and pull it up 3-4 meters.
Step 4: Straighten out the paperclip and stick it inside the insulation of the cable.
Step 5: Drop the cable back down into the chimney and reconnect it.

Yes, I use my otherwise unused chimneys for cable runs.

Reminds of a great old movie; "A Man, A Woman, and A Bank." No spoiler, because they explain the plot in the first five minutes of the movie.

Two engineers see that a giant bank has decided to build their brand new headquarters downtown. They plan to sneak in and steal the plans for the security system before it's installed. It's much easier to break into a construction site than a completed bank.
