In lawschool we read about a situation where a process server was having a hell of a time serving one person in particular; I can't recall the jurisdiction or what the problems were, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, what he eventually did was to watch the guy's apartment for a few days & discovered that the guy often came out onto the balcony for a while in the morning, then would go back inside but would leave the slider open. Just inside the slider was a table, on which was an empty fruit bowl.
The recipient's apartment was on the 2nd or 3rd floor. The server decided on a plan, which evidently was the only way he could successfully serve the guy. He went home and rigged up a climbing rig and rope from a tree in his backyard and practiced for a couple days swinging back & forth in front of a window to his house, and kept lobbing rolled-up papers through the window until he was able to land them in a bowl in his kitchen with some accuracy.
Eventually he goes back to the apartment building, sets up his rig from the balcony above, or maybe the roof of the building, and waits for the guy to leave his balcony and walk back inside. He starts swinging, tosses the papers through the slider, and lands them perfectly in the fruit bowl.
You've been served.
