Yes sir, I can relate to that too.
I had a the largest Chest Deep Freezer [Kenmore] in my country garage. Bought it in 1999 and by 2020, knowing it was 21 yrs old and I did not live there, I better get a replacement plan. I looked at all diff types and was ready to buy a local make/model when I was called out for work...about 2.5 weeks later, I came back to the ranch. The ranch house/garage/etc is about 1/3 mile from the main rd. As I was driving up on the gravel road, I was wondering why there were 20-25 buzzards on top of my garage. Before I even came near to the garage, I had to turn-off my AC...yes it was hot and yes the compressor died. It was full of all types of meats, poultry, fish and other.
I did not even attempt to open and put was much duct tape I could to secure the door from opening, which was unlikely w gravity and an Chest Freezer. It was on a cement floor, no wheels and on the side farthest from the garage door. I found as many unscrewable round broom handles and rolled it out Egyptian style. Used 2 lg chains and put them over my ft-end-loader and drove off, very, very slowing [now you know why I duct-taped it.
I made sure the unit was down wind and when I put it in reverse, there were no obstructions. I used my front end loader and tipped it over and the brown/black fluids came pouring out...I cannot give you a very good description bc I was going back wide open throttle and looking out for trees. I came back 2-3 weeks later and the grasses/etc where dead where the main funk went...A lot of the meat packages were not even opened bc nothing could stand to get near that, much less eat it, not even buzzards. I waited for about 5-6 months until it was in the low 30's to go up closely...I pushed all of what remained into a pile and burned it...I cannot even imagine what forensic CSI go thru when examining bodies that have been inside a house for weeks before discovery.
