Ever had to remove foreign objects from speakers?

Today I decided to try my subwoofer in a different position (was actually worse so it ended up back where it was).

Whilst moving it I heard something rattling inside. After a few flips I was able to retrieve a (toy) mobile phone and a letter block (via the port). A few more flips and no further rattling so went to put the sub back. As I moved it again I could hear something else inside. No amount of flipping allowed me to retrieve whatever was in there so I ended up taking the back plate off. Found another letter block and a piece of a train that, as it has metal wheels, had stuck to the magnet!

What I also had to laugh a is that those toys must have been in there for at least (I reckon) 7 years!

Anyone else (I imagine this affects people with kids most) had to retrieve stuff from ported speakers (or other equipment)?

(If you have kids, you might want to check! 😂)
