Scooterotica

Mate of bought this scoot, and all was good.
First night it ran sweet and he rode home parked it up and left it for the night.
Next day, he tried to start it and the start button just evoked a loud click,
Jump start and click, new battery and just a click.
Took starter out and it buzzed over merrily, then he dumped it with me

Anyway, I found this:





Magnet/magnets dropped over night, and smashed the stator

Is this common???
