westy1 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) A little bit off topic but I once came across a dead cat in a box in a loft which looked like it had been there for a couple of years, I just protended I hadn't seen it and didn't ask any questions. People are strange! Edited January 21, 2017 by westy1 Added content Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datadiffusion Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Yep and after a while they die too, esp. in a more modern house where they can get in, but no so easily out.  It's why after an initial period, a dead body in flat can be left undiscovered for months.  I think the oldest we found - going by the open TV times - was about 4 months, though others have been to years old bodies. Sad really - clearly no family nor friends; it was a flat and neighbours hadn't noticed the TV on all that time either.  The rookie copper asked if we were going to use the ECG machine to confirm cardiac death!!

Mavrick_001 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Not in an a/c but I was only saying this morning I did a service on Friday, every time I go there's white underwear of a larger lady on the radiator in the hallway by the panel, it's there every time I have cause to go there!  The husband is one of those who stands over your shoulder and it's always the elephant in the room, very awkward!!  Do these people not think to hide their 'larges' when the alarm man arrives?  Note I choose my words carefully!!

datadiffusion Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Used to do an annual service at a caravan park testing CU's (still do but this fella has gone)  Every year the old awkward unloading of the cupboard, and removing the big clear plastic bin full of porn to get to the unit... Being a caravan park (albeit a nicer than usual one), he was of course also retired and home virtually 24/7, so it was always obvious!

A friend is a Sgt now but when he was a beat bobby in his local village he made entry through a window to a house where someone had said they'd not seen the old dear for ages, he put his foot through her as he went through the window foot first, stiff as a board apparently (her not him) Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Also did a posh college in Leeds and in the gardeners shed which looked out onto the general area through net curtains there was a stash of porn.  Did a call out to an upmarket gym in Doncaster high res on a plant room door, the totty on the front desk told me no one but the caretaker was allowed in there, not even them it was where the caretakers office was... Fine I said but you need it sorting, she let me in and it was where the cctv monitors were for the whole gym, there were used tissues all over the place, the guy was obviously tossing himself into a stupor in his 'special' room Edited January 22, 2017 by norman Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

When I said box I meant it was a closed wooden box with material round it with a hinged lid. I probably should not have looked in it but curiosity got the better of me. It wasn't stuffed! It didn't really smell but it looked like it's insides had rotted first and possibly seeped out on to the saw dust it was laid on. It looked hollow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found an axe in a funeral parlour whilst running cables, it conjured up plenty of thoughts about rigamortis ect. I asked what they used it for. It turns out that they had a body shipped back from South Africa, and because of strict laws on flying a dead body it had to be in a sealed zinc coffin, when it arrived they could not see a way of opening it other than using an axe. Apparently that was the worst smelling jobs they had ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
