I like this because then the display is broken in the same way it will actually break when someone buys it. It's like warning others of the issue. It's really a public service when you think about it lol

Maybe that's what happened to the original knob. Years ago someone bought a stove and the knob broke so they stole their neighbours as a replacement, thus starting a tit for tat, reciprocal crime wave that swept the nation.
