I like it and would like to share a similar experience (:

In 2009 summer I was on a vacation in south coast of France,  I rented
the safe in the room and used it for a couple of days. It took me a
while to realize the bug in safe controller algorithm due to alcohol
emission and such ; when the PIN was typed really fast (4 digits in a
sec or so) the LCD on it prints the first and last digit of the PIN
where other digits are shown as asterisk. It was probably designed for
jtag interface for some sort of diagnostics. I cracked the safe open
and ripped apart the controller board on it. Chin Chinn -- PIC 16f875
was running inside. I took the mcu with me to Turkey and reversed the
code in it where I found an obvious bug. Reported the vendor (I think
it was german) and shipped the mcu back to the hotel. I am not sure if
they put it back or threw the mcu away but I am pretty sure that the
vendor fixed it. It was a lame safe but I cared for it. Back then I
was following responsible disclosure policy but now I don't care that
much. Especially after I submit a huge fully reproducible bug in IE7
in 2010 and got nothing, not even a thanks. (I was fit for a thanks
but it never came).
