I wouldn't think that should be a problem here if there is any sanity how the system is implemented. With a normal (short stay, long stay) parking lot it is expected that cars leave all the time. A thief breaking into your car and driv

Yeah. Stuff happens. There is the famous case of dropping the NOAA N-Prime weather satellite on the ground. They were trying to turn it from vertical to horizontal and they forgot to bolt it to the adapter. Worse: multiple people signed the

At least yours can be in theory solved. (Given infinite amount of compute, great luck, or a very serious breakthrough in attacking the hash function.) Even harder would be an empty prompt, and the only accepted response would be a megabyte
