Objects have dropped into a wall for me, too. The best in-game way to do this without resorting to editors or fixes is to simply dump one or two skillpoints into Telekinesis (Mage skill). Select this skill, stand as close to the object as possible, and right click on the item twice. It should be in your inventory afterwards. It worked for me several times, but I'm not sure if it will work for everyone all the time. Try it with a new savegame and see if it does. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
