@ jinx: You got off easy with the broccoli. There are much worse things that get left in people's trunks. When I lived in Tucson (summer days can hit 110F regularly) I once went grocery shopping with a friend who had two small children. As we were talking, she opened the back of her van to put the bags inside and the most horrible odor rushed out. One of her kids had spilled a cup of milk in the back, apparently a few days before. It had soaked into the carpet, which was now writhing with maggots!!!
