Many thanks for all your help. This is finally the best I can make of it, with a footnote that "it" must be the syringe. What do you think?

Nikita, but a syringe is feminine. So is a needle. It's definitely something masculine that fell into the jar, isn't it? What's going on? And what's � ���� � ��� �����, ?? I took it out of his jar?? Makes no sense to me. Especially as ���� has just been used to mean "brought out" (from my flat).
He �brought out� (����) jars of stuff for people on the landing, from his flat, presumably. Is that how you see it?

Thank you very much, Nikita, for phoning your friends.
Does anybody have any idea what or who fell into what??
Note to Steffen: You have made it clear that you have no desire to improve your English, but, in case other people were surprised at the expression, they may like to have it confirmed that what I am doing is bombarding, not bombing, people with my questions. Check it in the dictionary, Steffen, if you don't believe a native. And you'll be relieved to hear that I've very nearly finished.
To Seffen Pollex: I do not know why you say I don't know what ��� is. You are mistaken. And, incidentally, as the word appeared in full in the text, I copied and pasted it in full. I think you'll find that English people's tolerance (including women) of rough language is higher than Russians'. But I was asking for help with �� � ����� ����.
To Nikita: I look forward to your answer tomorrow. Here's some more context:
Katie, it's really a difficult part and I can't understand it. I know some people among drug addicts. Now it's too late but tomorrow I will try to contact them and ask. Meanwhile could you please give more broad context?

Since, yesterday, youhave been bombing us with this kind of language. IMO, you should quit the job. If you don't know what "��..." is, how can you even try this kind of stuff?! I've over 15 years of on-site experience in Russia, and wouldn't dare.
