Is it possible to record though rain gutter downpipe?

Hello everybody,
I am new here and I haven't managed to record any sounds yet. I had the opportunity some time ago, when I had pretty loud neighbours, but I had no microphone then or simply didn't think about it.
Where I live now I have two neighbour girls who live across the street on the second floor. They have sex with their boyfriends on a regular basis... at least I suppose this is what happens when I first see them walking around their room half naked and then pull the curtains and switch the lights off.
Since they live on the second floor, I think it would be difficult to have a good capture across the street even if they leave their windows slightly open. On the other hand I noticed the following: above their rooms there is a rain gutter and the downpipes run next to their rooms down to the ground on the street. The downpipes are rather exposed so if I had to place a microphone behind one of them I would have to do it quickly, in just one movement. The same if I want to retrieve them. I think metal transmits sound pretty well and I might get a good result.
Does any of you have any similar experience? What microphone would you suggest?
