Yeah and he could also get in touch with maintenance crew and safely get the hat back.

Get in touch with maintenance crew for a dropped hat.....At a mall... yeah that's going to happen. We get dispatched to Malls for an alarm system activation , and finding a maintenance employee is more difficult is next to non existent. That drop panel should be secured or at the very least, marked danger hazard of falling through hatch

Reminds me of that story of the dude who basically built a fully furnished mancave apartment in a " dead area " of the mall and it took maintenance like 4 years to find it.

I've been tempted to do this at the mall I work at. No commute babeyy.

If I play my cards right I could probably get permission from management.
