Okay, that's not only disgusting but sounds down right criminal.  Along that
same vein, I once did an inventory for a Fortune 100 firm who kept their
records in a garage/warehouse type building on-site.  Each day they opened
the large roll up style doors (for some unknown reason), and the employees
took sympathy on all the local critters about ... squirrels, cats, mice,
whatever ... and placed feeders throughout the facility and sitting on top
of the boxes of records themselves.  These particular records were being
retained at the order of a government agency.  

Needless to say, the "critters" had made their home within the records.
Bearing their young, excreting their waste, disposing of meal remnants ....
ick.

Back when I was a RIM consultant for another firm, I inventoried one of
those "u store it" kind of places for a major Medical Center hospital in
Houston, TX.  It was mid-summer and since the place didn't have any kind of
temperature controls guess what we found?  Very nicely and neatly wrapped
packages of various body parts including hands, feet, arms, legs, torsos,
and yes... even heads (or so the label said)!
   
  Our first clue should've been the odor that blasted us as soon as we
opened that door....  The hospital shall remain nameless (I still can't
believe they would use a facility like that to store those kinds of
"records") but needless to say that was one of the quickest inventories I've
ever done.
