I noticed some stuff in my sub woofer bass port and started wondering if anyone has seen a mouse come flying out because of 400 watts or so suddenly scaring the thing out like a bullet.

That must be the real reason they make those port plugs, to keep rodents out. Remove to play.

No, but I once found a mouse drowning (meaning it was still alive) in an old, almost empty bottle of Heineken at the drummers rehearsal space. I kept hearing an intermittent high pitched squeal between songs and I looked down and saw the bottle rocking. It was the sound of the little guys claws on the glass. I don't know how the hell he managed to fit in there, but there was no way out for him that wasn't going to end in tragedy. Drummer took the bottle outside and that was the end of it...until the drummer later let out a huge belch that instantly filled the room with the smell of death and mouse poo. Bad drummer!

No.

But whoever bought my 3620 decades ago likely had a bag of weed come flying out of it. Remembered about it approximately five minutes after it left the garage. I was pretty upset with myself for a while about that.

Dang, I'd be upset, too. I bet the buyer was happy, LOL. I left some on the kitchen table of a cabin we rented once. The renter emailed me to say thanks, thinking it was a "thank you" gift. Nope, wasn't. Just forgot.

I stored an SVT head in my father's shed when I was a kid one summer for a few months and decided to pick it up and bring it back to my apartment one day and noticed my cat was REALLY interested in the head for some reason. I pulled the front grille off of it and found a mouse nest with 4 little mice and a mother mouse in one of the corners. I don't remember what I did with them but I think it involved a toilet:roflmao: although I feel bad now when I think about it. I know I put the head outside and let the mother take off though.

Nope.
Had one scootch out from under the sustain pedal on my piano though. I was in bare feet and felt it brush against my heel. I was up on top of the piano bench as quick as you can imagine, while my very tiny, but very pregnant wife tried to extricate herself from a rather deep and plush couch.
She laughed at me for being such a wimp. I laughed at her for...well, I had to finally step down off the bench, and physically help her out of the couch.
We had traps out for the next week or so. Many mice, but eventually got rid of them all.
I had good hearing in those days (34 years ago now) and could hear the traps snapping occasionally at night. Some were good clean kills. A few were rather bloody.
I took the front panel off the piano and found evidence that it had been living there for a few days at least. Luckily, it had chewed non of the felts.
