I was called out to a travel agent. They had a Scantronic 9200 that went into full alarm one day while they were at the office. I asked if a panic button had been pressed and they said no.

I went to the site and found the alarm sounding. I walked into the kitchen where the panel was sited and as I walked over to it a small cockroach came out the back of it.

I carefully unscrewed the door and slowly opened it. I was greeted by hundreds of cockroaches nesting inside the panel. I went to the manager, gave him my cutters and pointed out the speaker cable and the bell trigger cable. Once the noise stopped, I told him to call me after the exterminator had been.

bet that was a shock

Once had a massive dead cockroach fall on me from a hatch followed by a large fake rubber hand.

I was so taken back by the cockroach the hand didnt bother me at all.

I thought fair play just the sort of immature joke id play. Odd to think it could

have been put there 20 years ago, the hatch was painted over a few times.

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

 

I have found a bat sleeping behind an old bellbox.

That would have freaked me out.

Did you see that Channel 4 thing though - was taking it a bit far I thought!
