A friend of ours who is a Tradie uses his 4wd Wagon for a work vehicle, anyway he took 10 days off for is holidays recently, so the day before they were going away he decides to go fishing, he fishes all day he catches a heap of fish and cleans and guts them at
the beach, he decided to keep the fish heads and guts for the next fishing trip, and leaves them in two 20ltr plastic buckets, he put the filleted fish in the esky, when he arrived
home he takes the esky out and forgets to take the plastic buckets out of the 4by, he and the family go on holidays, and while he is away things start to deteriorate in the 4by, his next door neighbour smells this odour in the air and thinks it is in his ceiling, maybe a dead rat or something, the family come
home after 8 days away, and cant work out where or what the smell is or where it's comming from, now he hasn't been near the 4by until he was ready to go back to work, as it was parked in the front yard near the boundary fence, yes he opens the car door and Whamo, he staggered backwards and gasping at the same time, the 4by has been in the sun for 10 days with two buckets of fish guts in it, the whole interior was Fly Blown, he promptly got the the buckets out and tried to decontaminate the vehicle, he tried all sorts of treatments, there were maggots comming out of every part of the vehicle, his mate suggested to call the insurance company, they said it was covered and so they sent an assessor out to inspect the vehicle, yes they wrote it off.
Cheers

Similar happened to a mate in
Darwin. His ute was "borrowed" by some locals who wanted to get to
Katherine. Of course it ran out of petrol about 10Ks outside
Katherine and one of the first people along was the local Plod, who did a
check and found it was stolen so they had it towed to
Katherine. Informed my mate who said "OK, can't get down straight away, can I pick it up next week?" Plod said "Sure, no problems. We'll lock it up and secure it in our yard."
Well, when he picked it up it had had couple of pieces of steak in a plastic bag left in the glovebox...
Bloody glad it wasn't me driving it back to
Darwin ;-)

Sounds like my friends efforts, meat or fish when it goes off in the heat it all stinks.
