Family Finds TV Full of Dead Roaches

I used to work for a place that fixed TVs,VCR's and other appliances. We would regularily find roaches in things that were brought in for service.
The most appalling was a microwave that was brought in for service. When it was opened it was loaded with mice droppings. The "problem" was the dead mouse that had shorted itself out in the HV capacitor.
I called the customer to ask him where he got the unit. (Many people would pick them up off the street and bring them in for a free estimate) He told me it was his from his kitchen.
I explained the problem and he wanted to know if it was fixed yet!
He finally told us to throw it out when we told him we refuse to repair it.
